Mrs Shrek has had an accident

[FJRider]

Such things are never good to hear. I think I will be in Dunedin for Friday night ... If she is still in Hospital ... I will try to visit.

[scumdog]

So.... is the bike ok ? no one ever cares about the poor bike

I did.

For a second

Then I thought about that 'lil hottie all banged up and thought about her instead....

All the best Kathie, mend well and without pain.

From the Scummies.

Take your time getting betterer Mrs S, and order brekkie in bed, with all the trimmings.

Sad to hear... speedy recovery to Mrs Shrek!

[_Shrek_]

for those that know mrs Shrek (Kathy)..... she came off her bike this morning & got a free ride to Dunedin.....

looks like target fixation was the cause on a right hand bend & hit a barrier & going over it braking bones etc...

will let you know more later

just got home from the hospital.... Kathy has just been put into a Thompson splint (traction) on her leg, so they can operate on it later today as well as her right arm...
her left leg is broken above & below the knee as well as the ankle, her right forearm is broken & her right ankle has a chipped bone & the ligaments have come away...
she is in good spirits & thanks you all for your prayers, thoughts & wishers

as she is being operated on today can you leave the visiting until Saturday at the earliest please I'll let you know what ward she is in

after talking with Kathy at the hospital about what happened..... her bike started to fish tail as she went into the corner.... she hit some lose gravel first & thought she could get it back under control until she looked at the barrier as she came through the corner....

her speed was between 80 & 85 kph....

[MyGSXF:Me]

until she looked at the barrier as she came through the corner...

A mistake, to be sure.

But why for the love of god are there barriers on the outside of corners, right where any mistake is going to end up, four wheeled or two?

Unless there's a cliff there what are they trying to protect?
