Stonechucker in major accident.

**Paul in NZ** · 26th June 2005, 12:30

Vicki and I only just heard about this! Sels1 was kind enough to let us know and Jim2 emailed me as well (damned flu is STILL going)

I suppose that from what I have read I'm like the rest of you and struggling to see the what / why of it all... I just sounds unbeliveable!

But that does not matter much really at this stage does it. What matters is Dave and his family getting through this and our thoughts are most certainly with you all.

At this stage I'm a bit limited in what I can do (and giving Dave the flu right now might not been seen as helpful eh?) but please count on our full support for what ever action is deemed appropriate.

Paul and Vicki

Oh bugger! Dave from what I've seen on KB over the last few months you're a bloody nice guy. Genuinely gutted and upset to hear about this accident. Got my fingers and toes crossed for a speedy recovery- you've got a lot of freinds on this site, so hopefully all those positive thoughts and messages will help you along. I haven't read this whole thread but I know that you are in some pain. Try not to think about it, do something to take your mind off it (talking to people helps- hint hint for locals!) and remember, each day will be better than the last.

**roxy** · 26th June 2005, 13:13

Dave, hope you have a speedy recovery, there are some great staff at wgtn public as you know, im sure your getting extra special treatment, talk to you soon, take it easy

**crashe** · 26th June 2005, 13:42

CSL - thanks for the updates... much appreciated...

Thanks to ever is gonna print off this lot for him to read.
Jaz - what a great idea re the library.

SC/Dave... you do as those pretty nurses tell you to do...
and enjoy the sponge baths...

**TonyB** · 26th June 2005, 13:52

Dunno what Daves injuries are, but if he can operate one I highly recommend that someone drops him in a playstation when he's up to it. Hospital is a very very boring place. Definitely drop him in some books and mags when the time is right, and if he can get it, Sky TV is a must have- but it costs.

I think one of his arms took a knock so a PS2 may be out of the question. Once the morphine is cut back a bit and he has some conscious time a bit of reading material never goes a miss.

**Dafe** · 26th June 2005, 14:33

Thats a great relief, wonderful to hear stonechuckers still with us and on his road to recovery. Good on ya Dave.

**Virago** · 26th June 2005, 14:48

Hey SC, I hope you are taking strength from your kindred spirits here on KB. We're all thinking of you.

To all Dave's friends, great to see you taking support from each other.

Hang in there everyone.

**Jackrat** · 26th June 2005, 14:54

Get well Dave,the whole familys rooting for ya' brother.

**onearmedbandit** · 26th June 2005, 15:38

Nah he'll be able to play PS2 with one hand. Just get him to ask me how when he's up and ready!!

**Brian d marge** · 26th June 2005, 15:47

I tell you what we can do in the mean time... Is get that F$%&() bridge sorted out
From What I read theres a few crosses on it ,,, I dont know the area ,,but looking at the drawing , and reading how carefull Dave was as a rider ,,, Somethings seriously amiss

I was thinking about this the other day there are 2000??? people on this list ,,,, I was reading about the poor guy who had his KTM nicked and found out the insurance company was an arse...

So if everyone sent a dollar thats a deposit in another bike

Anyway this bridge does need sortin

I dont know but thats me thoughts

i have a spare ps2 if he wants to borrow.

they are also a dvd player if he's a movie buff and has a telly.
pm me if he's keen and someone in welly wants to recieve/deliver it.

Yep that's a good idea..
I only have Flight Club and Natures Best NZ Hits. I don't think that is alot to contribute. Will be giving him my laptop to use though

**KATWYN** · 26th June 2005, 16:00

You go Dave! What a fighter. We all know you are going to make it!!

Dave was one of the people that wanted to see the KB Taupo track day vid I made. He never got to see it, and I've lost track of who has it.
I think one of our KB'ers in Auckland has it. If you have it, could you get it sent to someone in Welly, so they can set it up for him to watch while layed up!

Seeing Dave ride at Taupo track, it makes it hard to believe he's had this mishape! He is on the vid a lot, as he asked for some shots of him,, and after letting me sleep with him the night before (Long story, Now not the time to ask!), I owed him. His riding at the track on the R1 was VERY carefully. He was not the type to be worried about other people passing him, even if they were on a 250, ah Mikey!

yeah hes good like that, even though he still thoguht you could only overtake on back straight! still wouldn let me ride his bike though.............

**Aitch** · 26th June 2005, 17:22

I heard on the news yesterday that a bike had hit htat bridge, and my immediate reaction "god, not a KBer I hope".
Still, sounds like he's in the best place and in good hands, Dave, hope it's a speedy and not too painful recovery.

**mikey** · 26th June 2005, 17:23

visiting dave.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

first

admin dont delete or merge this. it will get lost in other gigantic thread.

have just been in an saw dave. was doped up, but recognised me.

i am not a medical practioner so will not try an give an evaluation of his condition.

i have printed off the other huge thread with well wishes for his parents, up to about page 16 if there was one.

daves parents andre (sp?) an sheila (sp?) are relatively happy for people to coem in an see dave, but remember he is in ICU, only two people allowed in to see him at once, an naturally his parents are at top of the list.

no visiting untill afgter 10, or 10.30 in monrning an smoething like after 7 7.30 at night.

if anyone wants to know what his parents have told me about his condition, PM me but take it with a grain or two of salt, as stated i aint an expert

or my cell is 0276967752, [ no hjomo texts eh quasi]

Very bad news,Hope he heals quickly.

**Gixxer 4 ever** · 26th June 2005, 21:23

Away from the PC for a few days. Sorry it took so long to send this SC. Prayers are with you man. My 16 year old said the same. Runs under the name Speights_bud. He has been chatting about the A100 with you and the bucket stuff. I know someone will pass this on to you when you are in recovery and you rock man. You made a difference to others and we appreciate it. Keep at it and heal well.

**Aitch** · 26th June 2005, 21:38

As tragic as SC's accident is, the response on this site has restored my faith in humanity. Bloody good to see all the bullshit put aside when it needs to be, take a bow KBerS!!!!!!
