Heavily concussed biker airlifted to Palmerston North hospital

[LB]

All the above wishes and offers of help from me and Hamish too Hitcher.

Keep us posted on her progress, love to her from us.

Anyone able to advise how to sign the petition for the rescue chopper?

PS: different vein, but very impressed with the motel/restaurant in Turangi - will post a separate thread.

Very sorry to hear this Hitcher.
I hope Mrs H makes a swift recovery.
Best wishes.

[What?]

Struth, the things some people will do to get out of doing the dishes!!!

Hope Mrs H is fixed soon, Hitcher.

Damned right about the necessity of helicopters. NZ might be a small country, but sometimes things like help can be a long way away.

Sorry to hear about Mrs H.
Wish her all the best from Mark and Connie.

Not good news
I hope Mrs H recovers comfortably and that you also have a recovery period, it must have been a shock for you to see your Mrs in a situation like that.
Kudos to all the kind folk who helped.
You both get well soon

Yup. What they all said...

All the best wishes for Jane's quick recovery. I'm hoping she's not put off but having met her I imagine she's not.

Bluddy 'ell!!

Here is hoping for a quick recovery - if there is anything I can do to help out in any way - give me a yell.

Best wishes from over here... heal well...

Sorry to hear about the crash, Mr H. I hope Jane heals fast with no further problems. I know you'll keep a close eye on her - that concussion can be an evil and pernicious thing, with mood swings, persistent headaches, etc.
Best wishes to you both from me and the vifferbabe.

Might be small mate but there are plenty of places out in the sticks with some pretty awful roads.I met a guy a couple of years ago turned his tractor over in B.O.P. and was seriously hurt.Road to that place would be classed as a track over here,Chopper lifted him out to Rotorua,ambulance would have had a hell of a job getting to him let alone carrying a badly injured man back,poor guy would have taken a real battering and potentially wouldn`t have made it to the hospital being bounced around in the condition he was in.

Really sorry to hear about this Hitcher, it must have been extremely stressful for you and bloody gut churning to see this happen to your partner, fuck I dont how I would cope with that, sounds like your cool head saved the day mate.
pass on my best wishes and I hope you both recover, you from the stress and Mrs H from her injuries.
Good write up hopefully will keep our mortality in mind of a few of us bikers.

Best wishes Hitcher. Hope recovery is speedy.

Dude - I'm glad you are Ok. Please pass on my best to Jane - I know what it's like to travel in a helicopter without knowledge of what happened or why you are there....

Please - take care of her and you ... I'm really really pleased you are both Ok ('cept the concussion) - I hope that she comes through this with nothing more than a headache...

All my best,

[Paul in NZ]

Fark! What a bloody shock!

Very (very) glad to hear Mrs H is Ok (ish) but what a day you must have had. Please remember to also take care of yourself!! She will need you fighting fit!

I will PM you for your addy and drop her a get well card.

Please let me know if you want me to dash up in the marvelous magna with trailer and retreive the bike. I feel like a day off! (no seriously)

Please pass our very best regards to Jane. Further proof that despite our best plans, shitty things happen to good people.
