Driftn

[White trash]

Dunno who knows or not but I'm family so I can post it.

Driftn crashed his bike in a stupid commuting accident on the way to work (which turned out to be hospital) this morning.

For those that don't know, Luke is the likeable one amongst us three reprobates.

So he's in Welly hospital surgical ward right now, awaiting a bit of work on a sore leg. In true Mair fashion, he's done apretty good job.

Anyway, go see the rotten little cocksucker and give him arseholes. He'd probably appreciate a bike mag to read as well.

[MSTRS]

Oh dear...like flies at the moment. Please stop it, everyone.

[Nasty]

I got some bike mags .. they are girls ones .. you think he will like them?????

Hope he heals well ..and follows instructions as he does!!!

[98tls]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to him eh.

[White trash]

Tell ya what, Tania (his long suffering missus) didn't sound too impressed when I spoke to her a couple of times earlier. "What can ya do?" is the quote of the relationship. Similar to mine......

Poor girl.

"Luffs ya Tarn' he'll be right."

[enigma51]

Aaah crap thats not good

Hope he heels quick

[Anarkist]

[Stickchick]

Edit: Ah, I just see your first post said this morning. The crash in mention happened around 1800hrs.

Driftn is from Wellington.

Jimmy pass on my regards to Tania and tell Luke I said he was a twat!!!!

[Anarkist]

Driftn is from Wellington.

Whoops, wrong on both counts.

For some reason I read Waikato Hospital :wacko:

[Clivoris]

That's not good news mate, but it's not the baddest either. Get well quickly Luke. Bet you can't have sex while in hospital:sunny:

[White trash]

He's not too bad folks, thanks for the concern.

And Mark, who's stalking who? Please go and peddle your school boy shit in some other thread, I'm far from in the mood.

There's a good boy.

[Mully]

Gaaaah! They'll never get OUT of the surgical ward.

[MD]

Bugger, bugger, bugger. All the best for a quick recovery Luke.

On the upside, schools out so his Missus has heaps of time off to care for him. Or teach him a lesson when he gets home.

[Her_C4]

He'd probably appreciate a bike mag to read as well.

FMRiders Mag??


That's not good news mate, but it's not the baddest either. Get well quickly Luke. Bet you can't have sex while in hospital:sunny:

Ain't he just!!! Nah just joshing - sorry to hear this. Hope he heals quickly:)

[Skunk Control]

Buggar, hope he mends quick.

[White trash]

For those that wanna visit Luke, he had his operation last night.

He's @ Wellington Hospital, Level M, cubicle 5.

Give the little bugger a slap from me :D

[Fatjim]

Right, off to hospital with the pink marker pen.

Anybody want any particular message on the cast?

I guess this puts the family holiday in Bangkok on hold.

[Nasty]

Got some mags .. and a good heavy hand to slap him with. :msn-wink:

Bike came off better than he did, but anyone with a clutch cover for a K3, let me know.

He's on level E now by the way.

[Stickchick]

What damage has he actually done to himself?

[White trash]

What damage has he actually done to himself?

Daft bugger...meh well...hope the lil fella heals quick!!

[driftn]

Thanks for the kind words folks. Am out of the death palace and back home on the couch.

Broke my fibia (needed a plate and screws) and both sides of my ankle also needed plates and stuff.

The thing that really bugs me is when i crashed J-Lo i was being an idiot and rode the bike home was fine. Crash at 40k (same corner) and im fucked.

Any who back to the couch tootle pip.

Thanks for the mags Nasty was getting a bit sick of reading the Rossi book.

There ya go bro, confirmation.

I'll call ya later and organise.

It would apear that I'm again fixin' an infirmed KB'ers bike for him, but I'll use the brother excuse this time round. Cant have folk thinkin' I'm a decent guy, it would destroy my arsehole status.

[limbimtimwim]

Which Ward is the knob in?Hopefully the same ward as the rest of him.

[James Deuce]

Indeed!

I have some more mags, most likeable Mair. Where should I deliver them?

[driftn]

Im good for mags thanks mate. The meds they got me on make me a bit sleepy so cant really focus on reading for any longer than 2 minutes at a time.

Shit Luke - sorry to hear of your accident. Rest up and I hope you can get back into it asap.

[driftn]

Cheers. According to the doctors its going to take at least 6 months for it to come right.

Winter series might be out for me this year:doh:

[flame]

Tell ya what, Tania (his long suffering missus) didn't sound too impressed when I spoke to her a couple of times earlier.


so...as per normal then?:msn-wink:

Shitty luck Luke! I think you should move from that street.

Hope ya heal up fast.

[driftn]

Well its been a while so I thought I would give all the kind people on here an update as to where im at recovery wise.

Well got my cast off 2 weeks ago now things seem to be healing good in the leg, how ever I complained about a sore calf muscle (thought I might have pulled it some how) the doctors thought I should have an ultrasound to see whats happening, I'm not pregnant thankfully. What they did find how ever was indeed a case of the old deep vein thrombosis. Not good at all.

Now I have been injecting myself with a blood thiner called clexane and taking warferen (aka rat poison) to thin the blood to eat away at the clot.
I also have to have blood tests every 3 days which is starting to piss me off.

I still cant walk around properly yet, have been using on crutch at times and others walking very gammy like with no help at all but the pain gets to much and end up with a kankle.

As for the bike I pulled it apart the other week got the broken clutch cover off only to find the clutch basket is also smashed. F@#K it. thought it was to good to be true. Any way new parts are on the way and bike will be going in a few days which will be very hard as I still cant ride it due to having no movement in my left ankle.

Will try attach some pics of the x-ray as soon as I work out how to compress the file.

Cheers for all the kind words folks it sure is nice that there are people out there that actually give a shit.
Im out piece.

[driftn]

Ahha I did it i think.

[Nasty]

Ahha I did it i think.

Way cool pic .... amazing the hardware they can put in ya nowadays.

When you wanna look at the bucket??? ;)

[driftn]

When you wanna look at the bucket??? ;)

Sorry Nasty, With the rising rate of the repair bill to the 1000 and the pittence I am receiving from ACC I am not in a position to be purchasing any more toy's for a while yet. If you still have it in a few months time when im a bit more financially sound I will be keen as mustard to have a look.
Sorry mate :weep:

Ah well .. if its still around you can still look when things tidy up :)

[Fatjim]

Ahha I did it i think.

Def looks like there's a screw loose in there mate.

[Tony & Carolyn]

will young man you have done a good number on that there ankle...... but it is well time to harden up an start walking on it to get that joint working again. just a word of warning when you start physio and they start forcing your ankle joint to move.......OUCH!!!!! :angry2:

Had to laugh when i saw the xray as i have an IDENTICAL one of my right ankle. Follow the rehab rules and you'll be good as a new. The kankle throb is a real pain, and when you drink beer watch it grow!!!!:eek5:

They told me 6 months aswell, i was back at work 9 weeks later on lite duties an that was when i still swung a hammer.... ACC just don't cut it.:oi-grr:

be good an heal well bro

[driftn]

Well I finally got all the bits apart from a front break lever for my bike threw it all together on tuesday fired her up and took it for a pootle to the end of Deans street and back, being very carefull as I learnt my leason from riding my 750 with no breaks (that didnt end well at all).

Cut a long story short I dont yet have strength in my ankle to change up gears so will reverse the shift pattern and hope to be in a psition to do the winter series (against doctors orders).

felt really good to get back on the horse for the first time in over 2 months.
Thats my story stay tuned for more.
Cheers peeps.

[driftn]

Ok, so I just met with the hemotologist (blood clot in leg) and have been informed that I am not to ride my bike and deffinatly not to race as if I have an accident and bump my head I am alot more likely to have a brain hemorage(not spelt right but who cares) than the average joe due to the medication im on. So no riding/racing for the next 5 to 6 months :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby::crybaby::crybaby::cryb aby::crybaby::crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:

[Str8 Jacket]

Fuck dude that sucks big time. Would rather have you alive and not racing than dead though!!

Five to six months is very livable ... and we rather like you breathing!!

[chanceyy]

echo Nasty here .. much better to take the time it takes then come back better & stronger than do a half arsed job that could kill ya ..

[Number One]

Poohs oh well you'll just have to make yourself useful around the house eh ;)

[driftn]

So I finally got the last bits for the bike yesterday, a set of sexy new rearset's chucked them on and the temptation was just to much I had to get back on the horse, Rode her in to town and all is good.
was the most nervous I have ever been riding down maungaraki hill. There is a god 4 inches of chicken strips on both sides of both tyres.
One thing that has to be said though is, Fuck its fast. I kind of forgot how much of a weapon it really is.
5 months and 3 weeks to the day and I am allowed to race it.
but whos counting any way.

[Cajun]

what do you think of those rearsets that ya got from trademe? i been tossing up getting same ones

[driftn]

Really good, heaps of adjustment. Only problem is they dont have a bracket for the rear brake light switch. Not a problem tough as long as you apply the front first, which almost every body does. A really good price to, cheaper than buying one foot peg hanger from a dealer.

You could do that but there is alot of holes in them that all have thread for bolts so it might be a bit of a fuck around. Also you cant really see the gold bits that are on them. Mostly black any any ways.

Have a pic of the rearsets some where but only have one of the bike on my cell phone which I cant get on to the computer. Also cant get any pics of the bike for a few days as it is locked up safe at a mates place so that I dont ride it again. Things started to get a little silly yesterday as they do when you have some thing like that between your legs, but I dont need to tell you that.

[et al]

Glad to hear your bike is back together and you are back in the saddle but FFS take it easy please. Full respect to your mate who is taking temptation away by keeping your bike in quarantine for a while.
