On our way back from Weymouth we stopped at Compton Abbas.
As we turn left to join the main carriage way few hundred yards down the road a car was across our carriageway with a bike embedded in the front end. We all stopped did our bit to help the injured biker till emergency services arrived. This all happened less than 1 minute after we left the airfield.
Richard was air lifted to Dorchester Royal with broken Tib & Fib very lucky man wasn't any worse considering the mess of his bike & car.
Ro did give him a WB Card [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Sorry to hear this, GWS [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

sad to report that there have been a number of bike rta's today. One serious and sadly one a fatal.
Rip to the biker and condolences to the family.
Guys take care out there riding and stay shiny side up please.
Oh bollocks, bad news - best wishes for a speedy recovery Richard, use Valentino as your inspiration, today he won his first race since his compound Tib (or Fib) fracture in June.
Well done to the WBs who sprung into action to help...

I think the fact that Richard left the bike on impact, flew over the car and landed on the grass was a huge factor in saving him from worse injuries. Get well quick mate. Although I did'nt do alot myself the group of WB's were fantastic. A sobering end to an otherwise brill day though.
Well done WB'ers hope the guy is up and about soon.

By the sounds/looks of things, the way you guys handled the situation was an example to all. Makes me very proud to be part of a group who can take control of a situation and make a real difference like that, nice one guys!

A bit too early for anyone to have heard any more news i'd imagine ?
We just realised. We actually Know this guy. From the bike and the pics it def looks like a guy at our place of work. I'll make enquiries tomorrow and see what i can find out.
Just found out it is him. We'll get a card and get you guys to sign it on Wednesday and friday.
He's gonna love robins pictures ;)
Was I right about the bike Nelly - a limited edition in Meridian Blue? It was very polished and obviously much loved - he's gonna be gutted!

Just had this excellent news from Ida, Richard's wife:
Dear Wiltshire Biker Friends,
Thank you for your help and support on Sunday.
My husband is well, no broken bones or any other serious injury as it seemed.
Though he is looking forward to go back to work soon, he feels so painful on
right foot which I think it would take for a while.
'''
I told myself it wasn't Richard when I saw bikers standing on the road side
A blue Triumph Bonneville with yellow plate of his I spotted
There he was on the ground looking for me
Straigh to him I ran...
no fears but hope
so chilled and I shake
good hearted people friends
cheers and supports
bikers of Wiltshire
no tears and I wish
he survives at the end
no broken bones
'''
Have a good day to all of you.
thank you very much,
ida and Richard with little boy Chardra
ps. We look at Wiltshire Bikers website. Thank you for your kindness.

That is terrific news
[smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]
great news as the accident looked really bad
Good to hear he is OK, when he is ready to get back out, I am sure there will be plenty of offers to be wingmen, (or is it wingpeople now?) that would be more than happy for a bimble as well.
Hope the foot eases up sooner rather than later chief!
Aw bless her! Glad to hear there were no breaks, phew! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
I saw the boxer dog in the car in the photo, now we know biker is ok, can anyone say if dog was ok? :-?
Ive been in Contact with Rich this Morning. Here is an email from him...
Hi Neil
It all happened a bit quick, but i was very very lucky. I feel like ive been kicked about a bit. and im gutted about the bike but never mind im still wakling.
Thanks to all your mates that took great care of me and traffic control as well. The driver has admitted that t was his fault and the police have adviced the insurance comany of th details. Just have to wait and see whats going to happen about the bike, but i think its a dead.. Catch up with in a few days. Should be fit for work then, and i will e,mail your mates to say thanks. I think my wife has already been in contact.. Cheers Rich...

Thats brilliant news, Rich.
You were one lucky guy!!!
Could have sworn it was broken too from the look of it!
Hope to see you on a new bike riding round with us soon!
Great News Rich - Thats the most broken looking injury just above the ankle I've ever seen without a break!! You must be built of solid stuff!!
Hope you are up and about soon - JJ

I saw the boxer dog in the car in the photo, now we know biker is ok, can anyone say if dog was ok? :-?
Ye Jackie the lad driving the Ford KA was on his way to take the dog for a walk. When his parents arrived on the scene I asked his mother if the dog was ok. She assured me that the dog was fine. Boxers are a pretty hardy breed.
Scary you just never know what is round the corner, glad Richard is ok though.
Well done WB, what a crazy day!!
Great news - ashtonished and pleased to hear nothing is damaged or broken. You must have been the milkybar kid brother.
GWS! Naythx

A boxer? Definitely ok then! I have two, and they're tough as trees those two crazy bitches.
Just thought you'd like to know...
Had a chat with Richard today who came back to work. Leg still very swollen and painful but still smiling. :)

Rich must be a tough cookie Nelly!
Good to hear, Nelly. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Hope he gets back out there on two wheels again soon.

BB. Bike looks like it is no more. Major damage to front end will make sure it never sees tarmac again, shame cos it was a beaut. Rich is just waiting to see what his insurance comes up with...
