Pete (vltn3) UPDATE - 27/01/06
** GOOD NEWS **
Pete is up & about on crutches !!  Only for short distances & very slowly - but at least he's not bed bound anymore. His left leg (the one they took the skin from for the graft) is healing v nicely. His right leg (the damaged one) is also coming along ok. They have him on a machine now whilst he is in bed that slowly moves the leg back & forth in order to get the kneecap & the leg muscles working again - he's currently up to about 50 degrees of bend - they're looking for 55 before they'll consider releasing him. He's been informed that if he can pass a number of mobility tests they might think about letting him go home in around 7 - 10 days. As Pete has decided that the time has come for him to give up motorcycling  he has asked me if I would post a few bits & pieces in the For Sale section (2 lids, 1 ladies jacket + other bits). Anyone interested please see link below.http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=32609

That truly is good news.
On the giving up biking thing... I know what I am talking about as I have been there myself. There is a good chance that he may just change his mind about that. You may actually be doing him a favour not selling his kit in such a hurry. I'd let him think about it some more (like a few months) before coming to a confirmed decision. He may suprise himself and find that he would actually want to try it again. Just speaking from experience after my accident, that's all. Edit: After speaking with Supervox I would like to withdraw my above comment. |

Good news
I'd hold fire on flogging the gear for a bit.We can make snap descisions like this after an off and change our minds a bit later.

Glad to hear Pete is improving all the time.
It's always a shame when someone gives up somethig they enjoy, so to come to this decision is probably for good reasons. I hope Pete will find something else to keep his interests up and fully recovers soon.
