A very good friend of mine, and an LB member - MonsterDaz had a bad accident yesterday. He was airlifted to whitechapel by the Brilliant LAA team with a broken shoulder, broken pelvis, dislocated knee, 2 broken ribs, punctured lung, fractured spine plus other bits.
He is ok and able to speak but we dont know when he’ll be up and walking again.
PLEASE be carefull out their friends, we don’t know whats around the corner
quadruple ouch, me thinks…yes hope he mends fast, lots of bones but they will heal about the same time, its just getting moving again will be the bummer…not the best thing to happen but we all know the risks…sure everyone on here wishes him well…
yes in a morbid sort of a way it would be good to find out what happened, also what gear he was wearing, did it help, did it not etc etc…
He was riding on chevrons when he skidded on some gravel and slid into an oncoming car. The bike ended up under the front wheels of the car and he ended up around 70ft away.
He was wearing jeans, a hein gericke textile jacket which was shred to pieces altho his hein gericke boots and gloves stood up really well. The bike is a real mess. He will be really pleased to hear of everyones messages of support!
agree, the problem is becuase few people ride on the chevrons they pick up all the crap and it stays there until some unsuspecting motorist runs over them…they are very very dangerous.
I picked up some diesel once in my car, by crossing onto them, it wrote off my car…it was only 2 years old with less then 20k miles…
