Mr Skid down and in 'orspital

[jrandom]

Friday night, Carrington Rd. Learner driver turned right into one of the Unitec gates in front of him.

Compound fracture of the right tibea. Leg currently being rebuilt with titanium. He claims this will make him faster. Rhys won't be doing any racing for a while, however.

He was on the XT's replacement - a brand new EMC2 carbon-fibre racing baby which was all set to carry him to glory at the K2 (http://www.arcevents.co.nz/k2cycle/) this year. If you think motorsickles get munted up when they hit cages, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

Rhys has informed me that all offers of sponge baths and blowjobs from sympathetic female members will be accepted graciously. Now's your chance to get him while he can't move, girls.

[James Deuce]

Oooo bugger. Tell him I said hello and good luck.

[Jamezo]

Gah! I know enough about plates in arms; legses won't be much fun at all.

On another note, jpgsplzthx?

[onearmedbandit]

Sorry but who is 'Mr Skid'?

[Sniper]

Bugger, all the best for his recoveries

[inlinefour]

All the best Mr Skid, heal well. :(

[sAsLEX]

Sorry but who is 'Mr Skid'?

[onearmedbandit]

MarkAuckland?

[Ixion]

No Mr Skid's been Mr Skid for a long time. Sorry to hear that he should have stuck with the XT !

EDIT: Used to be called paparrazi

[onearmedbandit]

Couldn't find him in the members list. Oh well whoever you are, here's to a quick recovery.

[Street Gerbil]

Bugger! Refuah shlemah to the guy and good luck applying for the new license in a couple of decades to the bozo who caused the grief.

Couldn't find him in the members list.

Tut tut.

I'd post JPEGs, but I'm stuck up in China again this month. I've only heard from him via various miracles of communications technology, not seen him in person. We were supposed to race that Coro loop event together, you see.

[SuperDave]

Get healed up soon mate.

[erik]

That's not good to hear. Those pushbikes are dangerous.
Hope you heal up quick Rhys.

Ahh thanks Fish, I looked on page 15 and saw a Mr cr, which being underlined I didn't realise was probably a MR_cr, and didn't see Mr Skid. Apologies.

[SixPackBack]

I am assuming he is still in horispital Fish? Would it be possible to tell us where and I will go and visit the poor bugger!!
If not pass on my regards.

[MSTRS]

Horse spittle is no fun either! Mend soon dude.

[Riff Raff]

He used to be Paparazi. Best known for his taste in unusual shirts.

Best wishes for your recovery Rhys.

[u4ea]

aww get well soon

[jrandom]

If anyone feels like heading up to Auckland Hospital to mock Rhys in his discomfort, he's in the new block, level 7, ward 75, room 7.

[andrea]

OH WINJA HERES YOUR CHANCE YOU GO GURL

[SlowHand]

The boys got half the cotton fields wrapping his leg up atm, poor bugger. :(

I tried to hack into the hospital comp system to book him in for extended sponge massages with the fit nurses, but clicked on "Bubba" by mistake. If someone could reverse that into say, Saucy Sally, that would be great.

The food looks good there tho, and he's juice boxes are out in the open!

[imdying]

Bugger, thought it was MarkAuckland.

[andrea]

yeah i thought it was mark too, anyways hope mr skid is doing ok and gets well soon

[bugjuice]

fook me.. pass on me best, I'll try to get in an take the piss..

[NhuanH]

I have flicked the diet indicator to:
Full Vegan, Gluten free, lactose intolerant.

To help with his recovery. Told the fool he shoulda stayed with motasickles.

[jtzzr]

Hope he recovers soon ,bummer,maybe to pass time in horsepiddle he could get more titanium and make brackets to mount radar detectors on , or something like that, Get well soon

[Motu]

Oh no! Rhys has crashed his stupid fucking plastic pedal bike....never ride a bike lighter than you,and I've dropped turns heavier than that thing.Better tell him to get well enough to stand up to some pretty severe abuse.

Don't do it again,silly bugger.

[Nicksta]

dude.... .sorry to hear Skids.....
hope you heal quick... and they charge the bugger that put you there....
time to get back on a motorcycle me thinks Rhys.....

[Keystone19]

Poor Rhys! I went for a ride with him on our pushies last weekend and he was worried about dropping it going around the corners - I told him that it was only on motorbikes that he did that.

And now some tosser in a car takes him out.

[zadok]

Bummer. Get well soon.

[Zed]

Never good to hear, get well soon Rhys.

[Drunken Monkey]

I still vaguely remember first meeting him. It was a very wet and rainy coro ride with Motoracer, quasi, Dss3, Bruce, et al. Zapf and Paparrazi came on their first KB ride, they wouldn't have had even 1000km riding experience between them before that day.
Get well soon Rhys.

[MacD]

Damned dangerous things those bicycles! Best wishes for a fast recovery, looks like you're going to have a special stay in hospital with a little help from your KB mates! ;)

[Mom]

Ouch......hope he has a speedy return to jandel wearing

[thehollowmen]

Oh no

Best wishes to him.

[SPman]

Jeez Rhys :( ........he wasn't wearing jandals at the time, was he...... :spanking:

[NhuanH]

Jeez Rhys :( ........he wasn't wearing jandals at the time, was he...... :spanking:
That is between the jandal and the jandalled.

His toes are fine.

Sorry to hear... amazing how time flies and different paths we take.

I remember very well my intro to KB experience Coro ride. It has pretty much defined my attuitude to motorcycling.

Rhys.... get well. Motor power is better than peddle power ok :)

[SixPackBack]

Sidis on a pushie WTF

Trouble with two wheel cross-over?

[Devil]

D'oh. Get well soon, fuckface. :bye:

O ye of little faith.

[SixPackBack]

Took the time to visit Mr Skid tonight.
Poor bugger looks a bit white and washed out, safe to say the drugs where having the desired effect as he appeared 'happy' and devoid of both pain and a few IQ points.
He has a badly broken leg complete with titanium parts and more surgery to come tomorrow morning.
Mr Skid will ride again but not anytime soon.

[James Deuce]

Poor bugger. Please convey my regards if anyone goes to visit.

[R6_kid]

i told him if he touched me i was gonna punch him... but running him down was purely accidental!

Glad to hear he is on the mend. Guess he can add "Hey wanna sleep with me, I have a titanium leg!" to his repitoire of pickup lines.

[Mom]

Urgg, have some respect! The man's in hospital for crying out loud.


It's spelt JANDAL!!!

:jerry:

I'm sorry! I'm sorry......spelling sucks.........all i wanted was to wish a speedy recovery...........hospitals suck!

[Toast]

Farkin hell. I was chatting to him last week, Thursday I think it was...gutted Rhys!!! I hope you've got $6m of health insurance.

uummmm..... that's his normal state :Pokey:

Get well soon.. from your text today I would say you haven't lost any wit at all. :cool:

[Marley]

Rhys is making great progress. The hole the bone made, plus the two holes the doctors made, have been closed. No sign of infection, which was the big worry, though the usual green ooze is still spurting from his festering mind. Therefore he's pretty much back to his usual self. He was allowed to put on his own clothes instead of the manus green gown, and will have a go on some crutches today. He also narrowly escaped an enema, so I think the worst is behind him.
Get well soon Mr Skid!

[Postie]

good to see Rhys was in good spirits last night, he even took the time to try and hit on the radiographer when his leg was pointing in funny directions when he was admitted.

good luck with the recovery dude.

yay for catheters and ballons......

[Mr Skid]

Sorry but who is 'Mr Skid'?
I want this member infracted!


Nup. Sidis.

His toes are fine.
Pa-leeese!

Pearl Izumi's thank you very much!

I'll write a fuller account when I'm back home and not borrowing another patients laptop, hopefully today or Monday, but here's a few small pictures from the experience: a view from my bed, a hot nurse taking my blood pressure, a crumpled/jandaled boik, and some staples in my knee.

Thanks to all my visitors and wellwishers.

[Pwalo]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery cobber. That's going to be an impressive scar!

[Motu]

So you did get shaved afterall - I knew you wouldn't be able to hold out on the full pedal bike kit.Shit,the bike looks very small,did it deflate when hit?

Any cast to sign?

[Bruiser]

Hi Rhys, get well soon mate, from someone who had exactly the same thing happen 12 months ago - just getting ready to get back on the new-look Harley again after $19k spent on repairs and 11 months in and out of hostpital.

Hope you are back up and riding soon!

Cheers,
Bruiser

[Lucyloo]

Rhys.....I've got the sponge and the warm water all ready.....just give me the nod and I"ll be there ;-)

[Macktheknife]

Rhys.....I've got the sponge and the warm water all ready.....just give me the nod and I"ll be there ;-)

I got the impression that the other persons head should be doing the nodding! lol

Seriously though, get well soon Rhys, damn bike looks like it got folded in half! Heal well and fast mate.

[jrandom]

Pearl Izumi's thank you very much!

Tut tut. I see the crash didn't knock out your tendency to use misplaced apostrophes.


Thanks to all my visitors and wellwishers.

Am ridden with guilt for neglecting you in your travails. I'll come visit with some, er, 'pain relief' as soon as I'm back in the country.

[Finn]

Crickey Rhys, you sound just like a guy some people were talking about tonight. This guy had recently joined a GIS company and got t-boned on his bike and is in hospital with a broken leg.

What a coincidence. His name is Rhys too.

na its not him, might be his twin.

[jrandom]

What a coincidence. His name is Rhys too.

It's a small world, and Mr Skid gets around.

Given the mention of his employer, I'm curious as to what context you heard his name in, though...

[Mr Skid]

Seriously though, get well soon Rhys, damn bike looks like it got folded in half!It did pretty much.

Front wheel is buckled (funnily enough) the right side of the drop bars has the drop point out to the right, rather than back.

The top tube and down tube have separated from the head tube, and there is a crush in the top tube about 1/3 from the seat tube.

In short, farked.

Nothing that can't be repaired with some hose clamps, KenAd It (Knead It), ice block sticks and string. It'd probably have less flex than a Honda after that.

Oh, did I mention, I think it was a Honda that took me out?
Oh, the injustice of it all!

Was it a Honda Jazz? Some bloody AZN cager? Typical.

[Mr Skid]

You forgot duct tape
Hey, not the duct tape, this is (was) a pure bred race machine.

[Drunken Monkey]

You forgot duct tape


We prefer the term "race tape"...

[SlowHand]

You disrespecting the duct tape?? Why I outa..:spanking:

I'm coming over to tie your crutches with cable ties. biatch

[Mr Skid]

I hope those aren't golf tees in my leg..

[steved]

Jeebus Rhys, some very impressive photos. Get well soon.
