[Shewolf]

awww I was wincing through that write up. This is were Gentlemanly ways are a disadvantage at A&E. You need some diva with ya mate! Oh thats right...Rain God was up the Tron eh

Hope you feeling better soon, but ribs..... ow

[pampa]

No one had on board video. Gus is doing fine. Just a few more battle scars (minor contusions on the boxer's face). He's tough. Here's the write up over on the Gus thread

Jeez, hope you get better soon

I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with the bike. Later yesterday the bike didn't start at all, it may be fuel pump related ...

Just made it back from A&E. Broken some ribs & have some fluid (probably blood) around the left lung. They decided that they weren't going to stab me with a bloody big needle to draw that out after I broke down & pleaded pitifully with them. That needle belongs at the vets, not a hospital...So I'm home now I'll do a ride report in a bit

Ugh, not good... hope you heal up quick.
Ask Mandy to get you some Monty Python DVDs, to cheer you up and help keep your mind off the ribs

[Woodman]

Oh no about the ribs. Time is the only thing to heal them

What is it with the Welly guys and injuries?

Ow. If you recall, my last trip up Odlins to the hut ended up with cracked or broken ribs. As usual I did not determine it was more than just severe bruising until late in the evening, waking up feeling sick, so I got to sit around in A+E until about 0500.
My doctor's advice was to simply stop breathing for about three days and the lack of movement would allow the ribs to knit. Stay breathing and we are talking a month or two...............

As I recall somebody that ride went way up a bank and got stuck (what goes up does not always come down, immediately).

End of that track looking a bit more challenging now.

Welcome to the world of pain, nothing a few months wont fix, actually those broken ribs hurt like sh-t for a few weeks before they start to get better even now I still feel mine. I said I would stay off the bike for 6 months so only a couple more to go.
Take it easy and get well soon

I had Mandy with me & she was set to give them a bit of a gee-up. But I'd noticed that it didn't get anyone anywhere faster. I probably should have said I was having issues breathing...

Jeez, hope you get better soon

It's a competition we are having here...

My doctor's advice was to simply stop breathing for about three days

My physchologist has been counselling about following certain religious fixations. I think I'd prefer to keep breathing.

Thanks for all the well wishes guys.

a video of my short participation on the ride

[pete376403]

Thats pretty good. Not quite Hobbit-like in duration, but the title effects are ok

[manakau.KTM]

I agree. Just imagine the slow motion effects that you could've had, if you'd been there for Steve's attempt at getting some air (with his airhead)

I have a few more secs of Andy's stop to wait for the rest

And I thought you were such a nice guy in the editing suite.

This Saturday 5th Jan, meet at Tui's at Martinborough Square at 10.00am. See Bart's earlier thread.

The track into Sutherlands Hutt has some moderate challenges. Cnut Hill is really for more experienced riders with good tyres or skills (pick one).
