so, i'm in hospital writing on my phone.

a ped stepped out in front of me this morning, i braked hard and went straight over the bars. he walked off without a word. cunt.

ambulance, a and e, x ray, operation tomorrow to screw my elbow back together. dunno when I'll be better, or if :-(

at least It's my arm, not my head.

Tits.
Sending you my healing vibes, Mash.
All the best.

damn, front brakes :p . get better dude!!

Damn, that sucks. And no-one got the peds details? The least the fucker can do is come and give you flowers, chocolates and smuggle whiskey in for you.

Are the X-rays impressive? You know we'll want to see them. Remember that when you go in to get a post-op x-ray... they need to give you a copy ;)

Seriously though, hope you're alright. When you're feeling better and want to consider tentative steps to getting back on the bike I'm sure a few of us will be around to help boost your confidence and fend off peds.

Mate sorry to hear about that! Is it your beer drinking arm or the 'other' one?

Don't want to tar them all with the same brush but grr fscking peds! Worst road users out there (scooters 2nd).

geeeez, sorry to hear that matt, hope ya heal quick.
that's why i donnae like front brakes. ;p
get well soon
soon people will be asking "what's your elbow made of?"

Get well soon :(

ugh, sorry to hear it dude. and i was just feeling sorry for myself! get better.

Sorry to hear about that. Get well soon.

Whiskey smuggling can be arranged. :-)

sorry to here that bro...hope you heal fast.

Yeah, and what hospital are you in? If it's West then I might swing by before/during/after West End Beers tomorrow.

hope you heal soon :^)

dude! so sorry!
fancy a visit? send details to me on the phone eh? It would be lovely to pop in,

xxx

Mate so sorry to hear it. Same injury as I had a couple of years ago by the sounds of it. Nasty.
The worst part was waiting for the operation to be honest. Insist on the morphine when you wake up ;o)

Hope you heal up quick - few sessions of physio and you'll be raring to go again. I used attempting to raise a beer can to my mouth as my main rehabilitation exercise.

Best wishes.

Bad luck, mate :0( Hope everything goes well with your rehabilitation. Show everyone your scars at the next Westie drinks!

fckn peds. cant believe the cnt didnt stop! did he sht himself and bolted? next time take em down with you so that they wont get a chance to run away...that's what i did :p

hope all goes well in the op

shit, hope you heal up quick

wishing you a speedy recovery Matt.
You wanna find the fucker and knock the shit out of him with your new bionic elbow! :-P

damn that is bad mash

I have some spare time so maybe i'll visit if you want, anything you need?

all the best and shall be thinking of you

Sucks ass dude. Hope you recover nice and quickly.

i don't think "sucking ass" is going to make his recovery any quicker....DERRR!

i don't know, you get a lot of male nurses, might not be quicker but!!!

Ouch, hope you're better soon.

Hopefully the same person will step out in the road sometime, but instead you'll take them out with your new Ti elbow :)

shit matt, that is lousy.

anything we can do man just holler. and heal quickly dude.

hopefuly the next thing they step out in front of will be this....

has anyone thought of welding some sort of sword to the front of your bars?

Bad news Mashton, sorry to hear it. Heal quickly and feel the love of your lfgss peeps.

Stay safe out there everyone, it seems like almost every day we are getting a rider down post!

sorry to hear that, heal up quick

Very sorry to hear this mashton. Hope you're feeling better and back on the road soon.

shabby news fella -

give us a shout if you need emergency supplies of grapes, lucozade in the proper old fashioned bottles with the crinkly cellophane or dvd's to while away the hours

the big fella

Just what I was going to say gapes, beers dvds, or just company if you fancy holla and we'll be there.

shit dude, sucks. i have a portable DVD player if you don't have your own laptop, but hopefully you won't be in for long?

oooooo mashton, rubbish. If you want, me and stelle can come talk shit to you if ya get bored, just give us a bell. Sending massive hugs x

Get well soon.

I hope you enjoy your new elbow, with it's mythical ride quality, vertical compliance, resistance to fatigue and corrosion, and relatively low weight. Are you getting it in brushed, sandblasted, or polished?

Don't forget you have to rub baby oil on it to keep it niiice! :-P

sorry to hear this mr ashton, it sucks. was the bike ok? i mean, that's the most important thing.

as for this idea of visiting the home of the infirm and the nearly dead, as much as i'd love to spend some time looking at sick people, unfortunately i have prior engagement picking fluff out of my belly button.

unless we do a 'hospitals ride'.

so, what's this elbow going to be made of?
