Holy Crap Get well soon Marty! Having been rather painfully ambushed by a couple of sheep myself a few years back I can totally sympathise.

Cheers
Clint

Sue has been in contact with a wee update.
'Marty has chest drain out & is feeling more normal now. Still in a lot of pain & still in ICU, they are managing that. I can't get any indication when he will go to the ward, so still not really up for visitors. I have told him of every ones messages. Thanks to every one for their support.'

A little progress is good news Marty. We can't wait till you are sitting with the lap top in front of you & giving us all shit

Hi Clint, ouch !!!! Not the brightest of beasts. Hi to Rosie

Thanks for the updates Ross and Robin.
Was I the only one browsing online for chest amour after watching Kings Cross ER on tv last night, chap had almost same injury as Marty but with less broken ribs, didn't look like much fun.

I looked at what Scott had on at the cafe & thought I should upgrade. I've had enough of rib injuries..

Hope the ride went well guys out of ICU this arvo but still pretty sore and still no memory of most of last week. Hopefully things will improve over the next week or four. Hastings hospital staff for president they treated an old dodgy codger run down in his prime by a homocidal ram lamb with compassion, professionalism and good humor plus the puddings were nice as we'll. thanks team

glad to see your up and about marty, damn shame about the whole sheep affair! i borrowed an old ty250 and went to wairoa too, gladly it wasnt as hot as when we were there on the big bikes, lotta fun..not so sure about aging two stroke trials bikes tho (this one was a '74 model)i need a comfy seat traillie!

[manakau.KTM]

Good to hear you are on the mend Marty. Keep us posted on your progress. Steve set a high standard after his roofing incident with xrays and the like, so that we could all see the gory details.

Cheers

Hi Marty, Good to see you out of ICU. It really wasn't necessary to be competitive about injuries you know. I bow to your greater capacity for that. I'm just off the phone to my parents who made me total up all the injuries I have receive as a result of the bike...

I know how long it took to get back after the back injury. If you or Sue need help in the next few months, let us all know & we will make sure that stuff gets done. I'm really good at delegating

some of the X-rays would soften concrete but the real beauties are various colours of the brushing as it unfolded before your eyes....if it didn't hurt so much I would have taken more photos of that....maybe pic of the week material

I'm increasingly seeing visions on an orange trials/ enduro/ adventure bike of about 350cc capacity in my future motorcycling arrangements....more so after a large twat around the nut by a road in recent times....maybe something in it maybe not.........maybe though

Marty, welcome back buddy You still haven't lost your wonderful sense of humour.

A great day!!! Ross, Eddie, Bart, Wade & moi. Thank you Ross so very much for organizing this ride. 2000 acres of hill country farm & me not ridden since MMMMM A few stupid offs . . . like 'where has the ground gone?' when you stop on a slope , the mud hole that almost swallowed the DR , me rolling backwards down a hill when Mrs DR stalled at the top of a lip To name a couple.
Oh. . . did I say I got stuck in a couple muddy sections(didn't come off though). Thanks guys for your help. You are FAB.

Missed you Marty, you were in our mind & often talked about at stops. "Marty would have loved this" or "Marty would have been right up there"

FALL OF THE RIDE. . . .was Ross's off on a tight narrow ledge into the manuka scrub. A bit of blood, pain & a upside down 2fifty
