thanks for the good wishes guys, im still in hospital atm (dad smuggled phone in) he has got a now win no fee company on it atm and we have paid 250 to get the bike back although ive not obviously seen it yet. wrist is worse than we first thought and they tell me its unlikely i will get full use back, naturally im going to try my best to though whatever they say
You regularly get vehicles cross that road too slowly too. They seem to forget that that's the main road leaving Marlborough towards Swindon!
Even if you managed to get up to 40mph in that short distance (I doubt you did...) he still would have had plenty of time to see you coming.
I'd say he blatantly didn't look properly. Worse still when a bikes light is wired on permanently!!!! >:(
I'll have to keep an eye out there from now on. That's very close to where I live!
Get well soon Rich, and if you want a lift to a bike night soon I don't mind driving you there :)
Bummer dude. I really hope you get well soon xx
Wishing you a speedy recovery Rich. Best to leave sorting out what's what from a legal point of view to the experts. Good luck with that.

i have sent chris/daytonadog a message, cheers guys :)
Didn't get to see you x-rays - but heard about them - sounds nasty :( Wishing you a speedy recovery [smiley=thumbsup.gif] You're young - you'll heal fast ;D

there ya go, its meant to be straight :P
that bone is in about 4 pieces but hopefully it goes back to one!
im doing everything i can to aid healing, the hardest being no booze for 8 weeks! :( im never likely to get full use but i'll get used to it :)
boredom is also a big problem, not a lot you can do with just one hand (well apart from the obvious ;D )
thought I would pop up a quick update in case anyone is interested!, Im still alive (just about :P ) got about 70% of my wrist movement back (still cant move it down so well) and about half the strength (but that is expected to come back)
Still waiting on the insurance company for any real progress but I wont be on a bike for a while (although I keep really wanting to get on one!) Still lurking and reading threads although I cant really join in that much :P
hope everyones good :D
Good to hear you're on the mend, not so good about the lack of progress with the insurance company - what's taking so long? Hope you can soon start making plans for riding again next year.
Are you driving now? Perhaps you could come along to the Polebarn on Friday - there was a huge turn-out last week for the AGM, and I think cars outnumbered bikes (for the first time). :-?
Hi Rich nice to hear from you again.
[smiley=thumbsup.gif]
i was wondering the other day how you were getting on!thought you might be avoiding the forum in case it frustraed you that you cant join in!glad to here you're getting the movement back though!
you probably dont need them but just to remind you your chair and roll mat are still in dabz's garage!no rush to pick them up though as i know its not your priority atm!
hope you continue to get better and are back on a bike next year!

Rich, contact the officer(s) direct. As the accident involved an injury they should have recorded witness details in their notebooks.
Hiya glad your on the mend and happy birthday. Take care and hope to see you at one of the meets soon mate [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Glad to hear you're on the mend Rich! :) It was about 3 months before I got back on the bike after I broke my wrist but it was nothing like as bad as your break! :(
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY.....sorry I missed it :-[ :-[
Thanks guys :)
