Police motorcyclist injured by falling tree

Do we have an update on his condition?

I mean, is he out of the woods yet?

The cop is a KB member, he'll smile when he gets out of hospital and reads all this tripe.

FYI, the bike lost its forks, and is written off. It's way munted.

The rider received a deep, nasty wound to his leg, but the safety gear the Police wear saved his hide from a whole lot of grief.

Tomorrow I'll be sorting through his riding gear. It was cut off him by the hospital staff. There goes $4.5K, bugger, but I'm glad he was wearing it all.

The skills the gendarme riders have meant the followers avoided the whole calamity, maybe we can learn from that. The rider will be in hospital for a while yet, and convalescing for quite a while after that. But that's cool, we get to have a beer with him, when maybe we could have been at his funeral.

Actually, I think he doesn't drink beer. But I do.

So the tree had a branch that was forked and the bike was forked by a branch - or was it trunk-cated

Perhaps it was pollarded?

Tripe! I'll have you know this is KB at it's very finest, you can't find this cutting edge humour just anywhere you know.

Best wishes to your buddy, I hope he heals soon as.

Right where were we.......... I guess his mates saw it coming and splintered off eh.

Well, lumbered with us lot, I've think we are nailing most of the points - the trick is to see past the trees for the forest and then there will be no sown seeds of doubt.

The radiating glow of the members here on this site allows all viewpoints - even if it goes against the grain. A knotty web of half-truths and the usual floral adornment of words to that effect will leave us all crashing to the floor. When I log in it seems that people are sticking to it and contributing to the greenhouse gases via an electronic form ...

And then there are the humourous off coloured comments, which stain the threads ... I wooden have thought that so many puns and word plays could have sprouted so fecundly!

Hmmmmm they have beech trees on the coast....wonder did he hit a copper beech.......?

I like it when yew log in and I saw many of your points but I think your barking up the wrong tree when you branched off into the greenhouse house gas issue.

I've got to Ash yew why yew did that cause frankly I'm stumped. I hope yew dont have a woodchip on your shoulder about the green thing cause tree huggers are a bunch of moaning beeches Oak-ay..

Fir your information, I'm only kindling but I guess yew twigged that already.
