Rider Down ... Maver-Nick (dad)

Hey guys,

As some of you have probably read, Dad had an accident on his bike today on the ride-out.

He has broken his collarbone and has a painful shoulder. He is out of hospital and at home now. Doing ok ... will take a while 2 re-cover! He has to go to the fracture clinic next week to see if it needs to be pinned and/or re-broke!

Bike has quite abit of cosmetic damage but nothing that can't be fixed. Will be covered over now 4 a month or so until we can start to work on it.

A Big Thank You goes to ... Age 4 sorting the ambulance, offering to help sort bike and Speedy for sorting out the bike and immediate assistance. Blimey for getting the trailer, missing the motoGP and traveling up to get the bike! Kelly for being an overall "supervisor", keeping me up-dated and coming over to the house! Bimbo for helping with the bike and coming over to the house. Gavin for looking on E-bay coming to assess the bike and offering to fix the bike. Webber for offering to help fix the bike including tools and "servicing" the bike! "The Farmer" for lifting the bike onto the trailer! And also to everyone who was on the ride-out that helped out!!

He knows exactly why he had the accident and if anyone wants to know feel free to PM/ring him and ask him. Also we will look at some pictures with Speedy and decide which 1's to post up!

Cheers again to everyone

Have a quick recovery mate, lucky it was only a hedge - and a stream ;)

I dislocated my shoulder the ther month, luckily it went in easily, and my collarbone only tore the tendons so it sticks out, didn't break it. Imagine thats bloody painful.

If you need any help with bits etc I'm always willing to help. Got a few odds and sods in the garage, maybe a mushroom and engine mount bolts?
