xXBadgerXx down

[Luckypants]

Had a couple of texts off Badger to say he had an off this morning. Sounds like the ice got him at about 10mph, so went down hard. He is having a chest and leg X-ray on LHS. Poor bugger also has cough which is making the ribs hurt like hell. More on this as I know.

He says loads of other bikers and old folks in A&E today. We had some freezing rain last night that has coated every path / road with a slick covering of ice, it's deadly! Even my dog slipped on his bum this morning it's so slippery.

UPDATE: The lad has cracked ribs on LHS and his knee has a haematoma, so swelling up very nicely.

[Viney]

Hence why i decided to get the train in!!

Get well soon Mr Triple Badger X type bloke

[hovis]

GWS badger

[Stig]

Exactly what happened to me a short few weeks ago. Bugger of the highest order. Fingers crossed nothing too badly damaged. Body or bike.

[Dappa D]

[wyrdness]

Ouch! Hope that he's OK and nothing badly damaged.

Today is one of the very rare days when I decided that it might be sensible to leave the bike at home.

When you bike goes from under you very suddenly, it will hurt even at that speed.

[BBadger]

Brave for going out today!
GWS hedge row buddy!

[mister c]

Flippin eck Badger, remember your CBT, if the weather is carp, don't take the bike.
Seriously mate, GWS.

[ArtyLady]

[chakraist]

GWS :( Yesterday night I had a scare when I shut the throttle off in first and the back wheel locked up from the engine braking.

[aarond]

not good mate i joined you today however seems you had it a lot worse hope you heal quickly mate

[thefallenangel]

[Mr Speirs]

Badger!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooo Get well soon matey. Hope the knee injury isn't going to cause you too much trouble. You going to be alright with walking your dog?? Not that I can do much from Northampton but still.

[Shellywoozle]

Ohhh silly Badger ! Big hugs hun and hope you feel better soon. :kiss:

The ground hurts no matter how hard you come off :(

Get well vibes coming your way !

[skeetly]

Clumsy git. Should have landed on your balls (1) they would have cushioned the fall ;)
It was mad out here today.
I spent an hour and a half just round the corner from the bison burger emporium with me van stuck sideways across a lane after trying to get up a small hill.
Why does it always happen equidistant from the two nearest salt heap?

Get well soon :)

(1. big? for going out at all in it?)

[Dave20046]

Get well soon matey. Almost crashed my car today in it so god knows what an sv would've been like.

[Dangerous Dave]

Get well soon Badger

[Lissa]

Oh b*gg*r, Badger:(

I'm sure you're feeling really sore and p*ss*d off. Cracked ribs HURT!

I guess now would be a bad time to resurrect the mullet thread, then?;)

GWS Hun.

[genesismike]

hello mister, hope ya feelin better soon an hope ya not too sore :-(
looks like the crash bungs did there job, me & rodders moved it to the shed for ya, looks like the gear lever is the biggest problem, fb message me later. catch ya soon dude

[Stu]

GWS, I was in the snow today, but I guess the ice can be harder to see.

[DMC]

Bad news dude :( Hope you mend quickly, GWS ;)

[Seggons]

I bow down to you Badger for even trying to ride a bike in this weather. :notworthy: I hope you have a speedy recovery. :)

[Drew Carey]

GWS buddy, sorry to hear of your off. It was scary out there today so be careful peeps.

Hope you repair soon and hope not too much bike damage.

[Baph]

Unlucky matey. GWS.

[Alpinestarhero]

Get well soon badger :(

take care ou there everyone else. If it looks dodgy on the roads, then just take the bus or car or something...its not clever to fall off and break yer bones and bike for the sake of not sitting in a traffic jam :(

[captainsmelly]

get well soon dude, respect for even going out on the bike today. i smiled as i got in the hire car for the first time ever

[Balky001]

Bad luck mate, cracked ribs take a fair while to heal so make sure you take your time. Also, white roads = bike in garage (unless you're Grinch of course!) :cool: GWS

[Gene genie]

the 'polar bear badger'.
get better soon mate, summers nearly here.

[K]

Ooooh - ribs are a world of pain. Laughter may not be the best medicine in this case so keep thinking boring, sober thoughts. ;)

All the best and hope the bike came off better than you did. :kiss:

GWS Badger

[the_lone_wolf]

Any news LP?? Is he home yet??

his facebook page has him home but not feeling good, pretty painful by all accounts:(

[Luckypants]

Any news LP?? Is he home yet??

Aye - he's home. He was waiting for a lift home last I heard at 6pm last night, but he made it. I had to go out so did not speak to the black and white one last night.

[petevtwin650]

Really sorry to hear this Badger old fruit. :smt086

Hope you repair quickly and as painlessly as possible.

[xXBADGERXx]

Yes I managed to get home around 7pm last night . The Hospital was sheer mayhem and I felt like I was getting in the way of those that probably needed more assistance than I did . They wouldn`t let me leave for some reason and wanted to keep me there . A full write up of Yesterdays proceedings will be done for you all in my usual manner :D .

Many thanks go to all those that have wished me well in here and more thanks go to those that Text me offering condolences and beratement , you know who you are :p , even greater thanks goes to Luckypants for offering to collect me from the Hospital and to the 2 mikes in work for shifting the bike to a better and less thievable spot . It`s appreciated folks .

[Dappa D]

glad your home dude, take it easy and I look forward to the write up!

[Warthog]

Oops just heard this, sorry for your accident Badger. I just aren't even bothering with the bike in this weather. Hope you heal up quickly and the bike is ok. Look forward to your usual style write up about it at least!

[xXBADGERXx]

Working on it as you speak Hoggy :D

[Warthog]

"Hoggy". That not bad. Beats "warty" that the TVSF call me :(.

[xXBADGERXx]

Well , you could be called the "Hogfather" as well LOL

[plowsie]

Working on it as you speak Hoggy :D
More than 1000 words, no oversized text to make it look bigger than it is. Check all grammar and spelling too. In to me by 5.30pm this evening, if later than that, automatic fail!

[Mr Speirs]

Once apon a time I used to be Warehouse Manager for Tesco.
On December the 23rd they sent me an entire Lorry of Easter Eggs!!!

I told the driver to go back from wence he came in a slightly more rude and more used phrase.

[Baph]

I don't do fruit, where is my cake!!!!!!
