Bloody hell... My boy's been bowled off his bike

[JimO]

im working at home today, lovely sunny day and Aaron says he's off for a ride as always i give him the lecture "watch out they are all trying to kill ya" about a hour later i get a call from a young lady is this aarons dad, dont worry but he has had a accident so i jump in the truck and hightail it over there expecting to see him standing on the side of the road looking sad, when i get there there is 3 police cars, fire engine and a ambulance there and he is lying on the road with a blanket covering him as the ambos checking him out, he has a bad graze on his leg with a few cuts but should be ok and is in Dunedin hospital at the moment but will be out soon, the cops said he was riding along doing everything fine and a old bloke went through a compulsary stop and collected him, the front guard of the car is mangeled and the bumper ripped off and the bike looks ok apart from a few more scratches and broken gearlever and footpeg hanger....every parents worst nightmare

Bloody Lucky! Yet unlucky at the same time, could of been so much worse.

Glad he's ok, Keep ya eye's open for those evil cages.

[007XX]

Damn jimjim, really sorry to hear mate.

I hear ya about the "parent's worse nightmare"...but at least he's ok

Good on him too for not having been at fault. Hope he gets back to it safely and quickly.

[Lteejay]

Jeez - dread that phone call myself in regards to the other half and his bike. Sounds like he will be on the mend soon and back on the bike in no time.

[onearmedbandit]

Fuck, that must've been almost too much. Good to hear he's on the mend.

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

Sorry to hear that Jim... hope is all ok... anything I can do, let me know..

Your heart does flippity flop thingies when you get one of "those" phone calls, eh?
Hope your young fella heals up well.
Glad it wasn't worse.

Your heart does flippity flop thingies when you get one of "those" phone calls, eh?

Yeah.

My recent one was from the cops: "We've just arrested your sons".
Not quite as bad, but not what you want to hear either.

I hope your boy is OK, jimjim.

[tri boy]

Magoo is everywhere.
Glad the boy isn't too bashed up.

[Coyote]

Hope I don't put my parents through that

[Damon]

Glad to hear he's ok, i had a similar incident my self recently, a boy racer decided he didn't have to give way to me as he was comming out of the mall and i was going in, he hit me square across my right side, he was pretty applogetic at the time but denied it all when i showed him the $4000 bill, now he has to pay it to my insurance company

[Mutley]

Sorry to hear that jimjim. Hope he is ok. Thought I saw one of your boys at countdown carpark yesterday lunch time. Anyway hope this doesn't knock his confidence too much and that he is back out there soon.

[MSTRS:Me]

A reasonable outcome, all things considered.
I know the feeling...chewing on chunks of heart until you know they are OK.
Regards to your lad.

[Nasty]

Crikey Jimjim ... that is terrible ... I am sure he will be fine and will think it future is that car just coming to get me!!

[avgas]

Ah yes, step 7 of the "How to make your Parents feel bad about the bike thing"
Glad to hear he is ok, and your mental space is ok.
Just remember bikes can be fixed, people can heal.........but some lessons cant be taught, they have to be learnt.
An arrogant person, never makes any mistakes. A wise one learns from them.
