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

Well that sucks! Really hope he'll get better and be wiser for it...We all get caught at some point.

Best wishes of speedy recovery...

[MSTRS:Me]

Bugger! Speedy recovery to your lad.
PS...bikes are not dangerous. What you do on them can be...

[Conquiztador]

Picked up the bike from towies. $150 later...

Damaged instruments.
Dent in tank l/h side where handlebars hit.
Red paint (from car) on r/h side of motor.
Back end a fraction in a twist.
Scratches on l/h muffler.
Visor faering damaged, but glass OK.
Bent handle bars.

So nothing daddy can't fix.

Now we just need to see what costs the car repair will be.

I have been telling him to get insurance, but... A lesson I am sure!


Oh, and re the dangerous bikes issue. As you would expect, my ex has made it clear that it is all my fault.

[Nagash]

Ouch, sounds pretty nasty.

Here's to a speedy recovery

Good luck with the cost of the cager.. unfortunately all that plastic needing to be completely replaced may cost a fair bit.

He said it sounds like his falt. which sucks even more.

Heaps of visitors. Enough lollies, chips, drinks etc. to last weeks. A handheld PS thingie (that can play movies), MP3, I took up a TV, he was offered a laptop.

I need to break my leg!!!

[McDuck]

Good. Would you like me to drop in on him and tell him to not give up?

[JimO]

you just want to get in on the lollies, chips, drinks

[Conquiztador]

And there is this girl who he has been keen on, but who has been a little standoffish. Now she suddenly is showing him heaps of attention!!!

[McJim]

Broken leg sounds good - where can I get one?Lollies and gadgets mmmmmm.
Hope this isn't habit forming for the lad though.

Wish him all the best.

I would too for a few lollies.

[Livvy]

Sounds like he got off pretty damn lucky, and possibly even better than he was before from all the attention he's getting! Good on ya for being the caring dad...

the boy is back home. Crutches and a cast. Painkillers and a six week contemplation period.

He had his first proper look at the bike. I told him it is running and I took it for a spin. He smiles and says: "So after some work I will be able to ride her again then?"

Thats the spirit!!
