Ouch :frowning:

Hope it’s all healing Ok.

O sorry to hear it hope you mend soon. … … However you maybe want to take your sig to heart and hop on again in the future . Cheesy quote … "never say never " you can have that if you like :smiley:

oh **** mate. they are severe injuries i hope you are ok. GWS !!!

**** mate , sorry to hear this ! Hope you heal soon and perhaps re-think ?

Get well soon… Take your time to heal and I’m sure you’ll be back :slight_smile:

Sorry to hear this dude. get well soon and you might decide to be on 2 wheels again in the future. take care :slight_smile:

**** news :angry:

Nightmare. Not surprising you feel like that. Sounds like a big smash and most important thing is you managed to walk away from it. I know several people who have given up biking after a big accident and there’s no shame in it. Ultimately it’s a risk/reward calculation and a personal thing…hope you mend fully and glad you are still here.

Really sorry to read this, GWS, it isnt exactly the time of year to make you want to get back on anyway.

Gutted for you fella truly glad you are able to post after such a accident im sure that would make me weigh up the pro’s an cons being a biker is a way of life for most of us thats forsure but more an more its getting harder to even enjoy a good ride without being nicked or taken out by some twat whatever you decide in the future best of luck to you .

get well soon dude :slight_smile:

Shocking news! Glad to hear you’re in one piece and hope a speedy recovery. Hope the cage driver gets his comeuppance.

really sorry to hear this.
i cant tell what i’ll do if i had a serious one, hope i’ll never find out.
wish you a speed recovery.

^^ must be an r6 frame of mind…

sorry for you dude. heres as good a place as any to vent. glad for you you sound like youll fully recover … well physically anyway! all the best in the rest of your journey!!

be safe peeps.

Sorry to hear about that man, get well soon buddy x

really sorry to hear this, I hope all mends well and your back to full fitness very soon.

sh1t news dude, but you are here to tell the tale. Get well soon and hopefully we will see you back on two wheels in the near future :slight_smile:

ouch, sorry to read that, hope your well and truly on the mend and feeling better… give it up, you might find that you’ll start missing it once you relax into the idea of never riding again… :slight_smile:

How times change. When I was a teenager and someone down thepub said they had got out of hospital after a bike crash we’d all be asking howthe bike was, how much fixing it needed, how to kill the driver.
