"~~~ANOTHER Man Down~~~~"

[fat bert]

Last night Cyclops low sided on the Duke about 12 foot in front of me

Still in Chesterfield Hossy

Shattered his left leg femur just below the knee

Gravel on a blind left handed @ 45 mph - natural reaction - put his foot down - snapped the leg backwards at a very strange angle

Bikes badly bent - TTFT insurance

Gonna be a long painful job so I've cancelled his ballet lesson for this Saturday

 

[PsychoBikerBen]

Bollox !!!!

When is all this summers bad luck gonna end ?????

Send mi get wells and best wishes when ya next see the ol' goat.

 

[Inspector]

Kin ell boys

The rest of 2003 has been cancelled, from now on it is officially 2004 in Bird land.
Send him my regards when ya next see him Bert , hope he heals quick.
What a bummer.

 

[Samster]

Oh shite shite shite shite shite!

How many more?

Get well soon Cyclops. Bert, well done for not running him over. Bet it scared you though - I shat it when Joe went down in front of me in France.........not a good experience.

Gravel

 

[fat bert]

First Time~~

I've seen someone go down [ooo err] right in front of you

What the fook do you do?

a] Run over his bike and come off yourself?
b] Run over HIM and phook him up even more? but save yourself
c] Close ya eyes and aim for the gap?

Instinct told me to opt for c] but ended up on the other side of a blind bend - thank Christ there was nothing coming the other way

 

[ianrobbo1]

sorry to hear of yet another ''off''

please give cyclops our regards and best wishes, and well done Bert good unselfish decision, it must have sh*t you up an all,:bow: see instinct!, you must be a ''NICE'' bloke underneath realyuke:

 

[Jaws]

Give Ian my regards mate.. not much else to say really :bang:
With all these accidents is it time we started looking at any common causes ?
one that springs straight up is the fact that Wiz and Cyclops both came off due to gravel.
Are there any more out there who has had the same misfortune ?
BTW, wonder if it is worth suing the local council as lose gravel is NOT allowed on a carraigeway unless notices warn of it !

 

[fat bert]

Funnily enough~~

this was a central line of gravel - just 1/2 mile away from where the road had been "resurfaced" with NO roads signs!!

Makes you wonder eh?

 

[D.S.]

wish him a speedy recovery from me

road bike will be shortly firmly locked away for the rest of this year:shooter:

 

[R2B2]

Jeez...

... all the best for a speedy recovery Cyclops...

 

[richard]

Regards


Richard & Lindz

Gravel

Just so John, one of our fav roads up here in NNorfolk is the A148 coast road from Cromer to Wells and on to Sunny Hunny. We havn't been able to give it any welly at all this year because there is so much gravel.

All the best Cyclops

:beer:

 

[dpbxx]

Femur

Berty, the femur goes from hip to knee below is the tibia and fibia. Tib and fib fixes fairly quickly, femur can be an absolute b?$%^&*. I speak as a witness not from experience.

 

[orlandorich]

Sorry to hear this.....

Here's to a speedy recovery mate. Good job there Bert for the miss. The friggin stars must be mis-aligned or something this year.

 

[Rolfy Dave]

Sorry to hear about Cyclops...

Hope the leg is better soon..

BTW, Bert.. Its either a femur (above the knee) or a fibia (below the knee) But there again, its typical of Ian not to make his mind up...LOL

Best wishes,

Rolfy & Jan

 

[fat bert]

Bugger~~

trust me to get my bones mixed up [ooo eerr missus]

It's the big bastid bone just BELOW the knee that shattered at the top [Doctor Findley!!]

 

[Wolfie]

Think your grummer checker aint working wolverine :t


POoor Ian, it must of hurt :B ouch......Get well soon mate and at least you're still alive thats the main thing :k

Bert - Lucky his glass eye did'nt pop out in the accident, it might have had you off if you'd run over it !!

 

[fat bert]

Mystery Solved then Nick~~

it was the phooking glass eye on the road not gravel!!

Can he still sue the council for not correctly displaying the road sign "Caution Rolling Glass Eyes"

Pehaps this sign might be more apt???

 

[XXscraper]

Tricky question that one Bert

I suppose every bend is a blind bend for Cyclops because if he doesnt have his eyes closed his falsey pops out !!
