James I just read this man, what an unfortunate thing to happen, really sorry to hear about your smashed leg. PM me which hospital you are in and when we can come visit, I might be able to annoy you for an hour with my presence. You are one of the best riders I have ridden with (you kept up with Stu!) so I fully beleive there was little you could have done if it was just a random slippery patch. Here's hoping you get a very speedy recovery.

He's in Basingstoke Hospital and hoping to be going home tomorrow.

Holy crap dude, hope you get better soon and as an added incentive you should aim to be back on the road for my b-day rideout/bbq That gives you about 2 and a half months but as always you never know how long its going to take.

the food aint as bad as it used to be. hope your home soon and the bikes not too badly damaged. If you need anything to help get it back together ive got some bits curvy that might be of use.

thanks everyone. as bigape said i'm in basingstoke hospital. hopefully going to be allowed to go home tomorrow. i think the leg should fully heal in 12weeks time, hopefully be riding again before then, as wnted to go to BSB at thruxton in bout 11weeks!

So whats the plan RE visiting....does anyone want to go to the hospital this evening, or are we waiting for him to go home first?

Things to factor in include:

Hospital: Possibility of seeing attractive nurses(although in my experience they're mostly a myth)
We can eat his grapes.
Chance to steal uniforms and strut around the hospital showing everyone our PHD's. (pretty huge d****)

Home: We can eat the food in his house
We won't contract MRSA or whatever flesh eating bacteria is currently all the rage in the NHS.

I wanted to visit today but have had my plans scuppered. If anyone is thinking of going in the car, can they come by my way and pick me up

Having just come out of an NHS hospital, I probably already have MRSA so if James doesn't have yet I could always oblige and pass it on.

yeah i know i hadn't been on much since new year, just been busy lately. though i was hoping to make it down to the next shire horse meet. that may have to wait a while now. nick- doctors said about 12weeks to fully heal, though i guess i am a rather finely tuned athletic machine

so hopefully be quicker! lol. what made it worse the other day was i kept hearing bikes go past the hospital, whilst i'm stuck in bed grrr. on a positive note, i think my all important white boots manged to survive

so does this make me a member of the wonky knee club???
