Wellington - The Thursday Night (Summer) Rides

**Edna** · 31st December 2008, 20:32

Hi Guys
I have been overwhelmed with all the messages I got for Henry since my last post. The text messages and phone calls were all appreciated. Thank you all for the kind words, and I have passed them all to Henry. I thought I'd give you an update:
Henry is now in the ICU of Christchurch Hospital. It will be days (probably a couple of weeks) before he gets transferred to Burwood. Please know that all messages are welcome; same number: Edna - 027 687 2969 . 021 78 22 15
Thank you for all your support.
Have fun but be careful out there. Regards, Edna & Henry.

are with Henry. Again I myself haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting him but certainly hope to see Henry back on the road so I can. Its always a coin in that whenever a motorcyclist comes off or is involved in an accident it is a sad time and one of great concern for family and friends, the other side is the great coming together the motorcycling community shows and how belonging to a club of forum helps as no doubt every word of these kind messages helps the recovery process that little bit more.

Again get better quick mate and hopefully you get a chance to see this forum showing how many people are thinking of you.
Regards, Gixxer-King

Thanks for the kind words. The sad truth is I will have to work this evening. I had a great time on the Wedensday night ride yesterday though.

Enjoy your ride and be safe.

No. The Thursday one you ride at your own pace. If your pace is considered fast, no ones going to lecture you about it.

I think I owe someone on TRNTR an apology for my slightly dodgy overtake tonight. Probably Deano or atleast someone on a Repsol.

I fell into doing just what I bag others for doing, overtaking where bikes can approach quicker than cars towards you.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I startled you. It was NOT what I intended to do or where I would normally overtake. I was out for a gentle pootle tonight and was quite happy following that SUV up the hill with no intention of passing him on that spot, when all of a sudden the back passengers waved to me. I mistook it for a "go ahead you can pass us" wave. Hand signals were my weak subject at Scouts.

So I had to make pronto back to my side.
