Crash, broken leg, damaged bike and hospital. No, not me my oldest son.

Yep. He got collected in a roundabout. Not sure re details. But sounds like his fault.

After 3 hours in the theatre he will be the proud owner of a permanent metal detector trigger. (Steel rod in his shin). Groggy and tired when I did see him, so did not get too many details today. But he will be OK.

His mum is not impressed. "I told you so, bikes are dangerous!!" So we will see what outcome is. Will he get back on, or not...

Have yet to see the bike. Is at the towies yard. Will get her tomorrow and se if the damage is worth repairing.

But main thing is that he will be OK. Some scarring. Mental and physical. But nothing that should hold him back, apart from for 6 - 8 weeks.

So our planned ride to Rock2Wellington might not happen. But we get there. Even if the cage is not how I wanted to arrive, but so be it.

Life. There is always something unexpected around the next bend.

Ouch! Hope he heals well and things are good for you too. Parents are the best thing ever, after having a crash or breaking something.

Good luck to your boy, hope he comes right soon.
He has something to look forward to while he recovers too, the concert.
All the best to your family, hugs.

Sorry to hear about the incident, hope mum holds up well and your son heals quickly. Glad to hear he is still with his nearest and dearest.

Had to go home as I have 3 young uns who all have school tomorrow. But been waiting for update. Just got the call from the hospital. Operation went well and he is recovering. Hmmm.. that was 4 hours of operation!!

Ok. Now I can sleep well.
