The other thread was getting very long
I'm sure this sentiment is shared by all KBers

Can you link us to the 'other thread' Frosty? I can't find it/don't know what happened.

Sorry to hear you've had a misshap Chap!
Get well soon!

MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU MATE, TAKE IT EASY.

All the sentiments of the above, Dave. I'll be praying for your quick recovery.

Devastating news of StoneChucker's crash. I have met him only a couple of times. Seems like a great guy. Very sad as well as thought provoking when a biker hits something and is badly hurt. I hope StoneChucker has a full and speedy recovery.

Thanks for the up date CSL..

it is great(?) news that he is still here....

Babyb and i were very concered...

Really saddened to hear about this. Dave's a top guy and very safe rider.
Only way I can see something like this happening would be from mechanical failure or some momentary loss of attention due to tiredness. Plus that tractor on the bridge definately would have to be a contributing factor.

I've riden with Dave on a few occassions and he's always been very safe even to to point of looking out for me. On the way up to the Taupo Trackday he was pointing out crap on the road through the Para's. And when we rode home from the Rally at National Park I pulled over to zip up my wet weather gear and Dave immediately turned around and came back to see if I was ok.

Thanks for keeping us up to date on how he is Bruce you must be pretty shaken by whats happend.

Dave is currently in surgery. He's going to be in ICU for a few days at least so we won't be able to visit him just yet. His mum said he did make a cheeky comment this morning so that's good, but he's obviously very worried about his injuries long term. Please send him your best wishes. His parents need our support too, but his mum is pretty stoked at how many people out there care about Dave and are concerned about him. It might be an idea to keep phone calls to ICU to a minimum tho. If people are passing hospital tho, drop a card or note to reception to be sent up to him - I think the more the better to let him know that so many of us care. For those that can't - post your messages on KB and we can print them out and take to hospital.

When I first read this thread I didn't pay it alot of attention. But Frosty's thread alerted me to the fact Stonechucker had come to grief and by then this thread had estabished the Biker down was Dave.

Hope you have a short recovery Dave. Will get down to see you when your feeling a little better.

Thanks for that Riff. I live close to the hospital so I am more than happy to collect any notes people want to send him. Just PM them to me and I can print them off.

That would be great - thanks Cathy. Knowing how much people care has an amazing effect on healing. I've got a lot of time for Dave, and I'm going to let him know how much he means to me. Funny how something like this makes you realise how much of an impact someone has on your life and how much they mean to you.
