    No more bike, no more riding...

    Yes, as the title suggests, I am without a bike, and I am not riding, Thursday coming home I binned it on a corner. Fractured my wrist and pelvis and got air lifted out of wellington yesterday by life flight to gisborne for my recuperation period, oh it sucks. The bike is getting written off.

    I want to thank Skunk for all his great help and also Jim2 and Hitcher. Thanks guys!!!

    This is who we are

    Ow! Sounds painful. Hope you have a rapid recovery and that you get back on two wheels when the time is right.

    Shit. Hope you are not giving it away permanent-like. Speedy recovery, eh?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Hope you get well soon Sean.

    Sucks to have a serious off, I've been in Hospital for an extended spell due to a big crash and it sucks.

    Sure makes that first ride once you're out feel all the better though.

    Good luck mate. That's a real bummer. Hope that the morphine's working well, and that you heal up asap.

    Seems a few of us have been in the wars lately!!

    Taking time out to recover in Gisborne is a great idea. Pace yourself and only get back on a bike when you feel ready.

    Shit

    Sorry to hear that Sean... What happened? Which corner?

    What do you plan on getting after you recover?

    And, out of interest, why did you get air lifted to Gisbourne?

    Holy shit, so sorry to hear about this - where abouts did it happen? What happened? How long will you be in Gizzy? (maybe Skunk/Jim2/Hitcher could enlighten us if Ramius is out of action??)

    Let us know if there's anything we can do.
