Sounds horrific. Glad the surgery went well and hope the healing process is swift. 👊
No updates on the bike..that poor bike.. all alone, in a potentially non rideable condition.
Healing vibes for you and the bike
Again, best wishes mate and hope they are keeping you well dosed up in Happy Land to help with the pain!
Heal well mate and all the best.
All good then ? Speedy recovery and all that, don’t stop riding bikes they’re ace and it wasn’t it’s fault unless you weren’t on some disc clad machine obvz 🤪
I have genuinely appreciated all the messages of support. Any questions?
Yeah, what’s hospital food like these days 🤣
@bearnecessities brought me in a bunch of tastiest, middle-class bananas ever produced in nature, the food question is pretty much a moot one.
Any questions?
Yeah.
How do they enforce the two visitors to a bed policy with a man who has eight kids?
Heal soon SR.
Soup for One then..
Glad to hear from you.....
Any questions?
Where did it happen? We'll put up a plaque, light a few candles......🙂
I'm guessing Mytholm Steeps or Horsehold....
Eat jelly babies; the jelly will keep you regular.
Especially if they're the sucrolose sweetened ones.
Get well soon and I hope it doesn't smart too much.
As previously pointed out there's been no mention of the state of the poor bike. Is it still in a ditch outside Hebden?
It was indeed Mytholm Steeps. Alongside Rawtenstall Bank. Unbelievable!
As for the bike, some kind soul took it with him to drop at my brother’s. I actually don’t know what state it’s in!
Thanks bikebuoy, always wondered where Modjo stole that hook from.
Get well soon, OP.
Hope you can still read books with that neck brace.
As of now, reading has just become possible. The physios has me get up and walk the single step to my chair. Feels good.
ouch...
healling vibes man
It was indeed Mytholm Steeps. Alongside Rawtenstall Bank. Unbelievable!
Ooof. All the best. Once got quite out of control towing a trailer with a full barrel of beer on it. But nothing bad happened.
Very best wishes.
Just catching up with this thread, Best wishes to you SR, hope you heal fast. looks a bad 'un.
best wishes from the south of France .
Proper crash !
Thoughts and prayers for the bike
Is that a 27.5" neck brace? I hear they bring...
Coming down a steep hairpin today and I thought of you - can only echo what others have said; mend soon.
That'll keep you out of the Ukraine for a while.
Get well soon!
Get well soon mate! Glad the surgery went well 👍
Jeez! Sounds nasty. Wishing you a speedy recovery
Sounds very nasty, heal well. Lots of netflicks (latest guilty pleasure is Ice Road Truckers, how can towing be such a drama).

Ice Road Truckers, how can towing be such a drama
It isn't dramatic. Turn the overly dramatic music off and then you get what's really going on.
Nothing.
The only "drama" is in the music and the odd stone chip hitting the windscreen if you're really lucky.... which they replay 10 times over....then again in slowmo.....
Sorry, might have gone a little of off topic there. 😃
On the last train after a drunken night out and my thoughts turn , bizarrely to you,
Get well son James. Praying for a speedy recovery.
I know its not dramatic, but at least I can sleep though half an episode and not miss anything.
Get well son James. Praying for a speedy recovery.
Thanks. And thanks to all of you. It’s amazing how encouraging the kind words of pseudo-strangers actually are.
As for the bike, some kind soul took it with him to drop at my brother’s. I actually don’t know what state it’s in!
Shit it must be bad!! I remember last time I got taken to A&E I was nowhere near as bad as you, and the police asked me what I wanted done with my bike I replied "just throw the ****ing thing in the hedge!".
Oof - that all sounds horrendous.
Hope you make a full recovery.
It’s amazing how encouraging the kind words of pseudo-strangers actually are.
We're not strangers.
We're annoying, argumentative ****ers you just haven't met yet.
Well, the ones I have met are a stellar bunch of people:
molgrips (Ben)
mooman (Anthony)
taxi25 (Colin)
binners (Adam)
ton (Tony)
bearnecessities (Richard)
Gnusmas (Allan)
Ambrose (Ambrose)
P-Jay (Paul)
And those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head.
Hope everything heals okay SaxonRider.
I’m not pseudo-strange.
I’m proper strange.
Get well soon SR, any news on when you are back home.
I need a hand moving all those bricks.
🛒
was good to see you yesterday James, and to meet you brother.
heal quick mate, so we can organise a beer ride. the ardennes would be good.
You now have time to read that book I gave you. The essay title is Parallels between Religion and Science, it's due next Friday.
Ouch! Heal soon dude.
Sounds horrendous. Hope you heal well!
Only just seen this.
Hope your recovery is smooth and quick.
Listen to the physio person and do all you can to get back to full fitness and health.
All the best. bunnyhop x
