Some of you may remember me, last seen flying off in the air ambalance after smacking a Corsa on a ride out driven by a 17 year old (Nothing against 17 year olds) on the 28th May 2006. Been a long time but just wanted to say thanks to all that helped on the day. Can’t remember nothing apart from following Bondy about 5 miles prior . Just count myself lucky I paid the extra £20 insurance premium for legal costs. As I lost nothing and gained a bit two, plus shed loads of titanium all on the NHS what with fifteen broken bones (worth loads dead)

Ah yes, the joys of a spring ride-out ...... :shock:

I seem to remember the "entertainment" of trying to hold a free-floating ankle/boot in line with the shin above, whilst half in a ditch, along with Andy & Co. :?

How ya doing Sniffy - all fixed now :?
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Bloody hell, It's like an old boys thread this, Sniffy, georgie and Bondy all in one thread :D

I remember that day and still tell plenty of people. I hope you're doing alright mate and that your jaw is a lot better!

one of the memorable things I remember is running down to you and seeing your fibular at a horrible angle and also I think it was nick, holding up a nasty looking limb and saying 'i think this is broken' the master of understatement, pure genius. :D

Get another bike georgie, I miss our rides! Are you going to get anothe bike Sniffy?

No more bikes for me :cry: , I do miss them and you lot. Not allowed, to close that time. Picture waking up looking at a ceiling with bright lights. Not knowing nothing or no one or why you were there. Scary poo enough to scare the living day light’s out of me. As to the bones all fixed now, some issues but cant moan. :roll:

Jak isn't shocked in that pic, she's smelling her breath. :D

I shit myself when i first came over the hill to see the red and white bike in the road. At first I have to be honest and thought it was simon, then I saw simon and knew it was you. Was so glad to see you conscious etc when I got to you.

reading your Glasgow Coma Scale in the hospital was good :D
