If someone can get his home address I'll send him a card, I'm a bit too far away to help with the rebuild :( , unless you want to send me some bits to put back together ;) ...

Nothing happening on bike front as no one knows where it is the moment.

Guys!!! GIrls!!!!!Hi Guy/girls.....
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR MESSAGES OF SUPPORT AND gws'S. The Doc's official wording:

Chris sustained injuries foremost to his lower left leg, this entailed ankle and heel of which
he broke his heel bone in one place and a fracture occurred in the other, also with various
ligament damage. As a result of this injury, he also suffered two (2) collapsed lungs of which
were initially treated at scene by way of chest plugs to either side of the chest cavity.
Also there was risk of CT section of vertebrae damage so the precaution was collar and braces.
Transpired that this risk was severe bruising to the top 5 vertebrate.

i cant give an answer to why/how i came off but it certainly was NOT anyone's fault except mine. the only thing i saw in the road seemed impassable at the current speed or change in direction so i reduced speed etc but approaching 'it' , what ever the thing was had moved. So timing and confusion were predominantly to blame i think.

I will be organising a coffee for those who wish to attend to re-live and laugh at the events.... sometime in the next few days or up to a week. Nothing formal!!

Much love and thanks again EVERYONE!! A special one toSilvertonkate( kate )for taking the pica-ture of my baby before the train wreck!!
The colour of this text is roughly the same as the ankle......

Yes please feel free to pop down/up/across - If your not sure/cant make it, a text will suffice i guess !! =))

Bike will be on my mind until details follow - Si / Bullet, i will endeavor to give details and help would obviously be appreciated to the extent of a drink / illegal activity to thank everyone.
