Dont really know how he is other than he cant stand as his hip and knee are too sore and his shoulder is a funny shape.

he has had his bloods taken to make sure he wasnt drugged or drunk.

it was entirely the fault of the taxi driver who pulled out without looking to do a u-turn in front of him.

Gob hit the car, bounced off the bonnet and onto the road. He has a long list of witnesses to support him in this. The taxi firm are up for a new bike, leathers and helmut.

now we are waiting on x-rays to be taken.

The driver claimed he didnt see him. Strange that considering Gob wears an incredibly visible Ambulance jacket and his dead bike used to always have its lights on when running.
Bah!

It is a huge relief to hear that only the bike is dead. Send him my best wishes for a speedy healing. Hope he is getting the good stuff for pain.

Thanks goodness it wasn't worse -- and he was wearing a helmet!

Speedy healing wishes winging your way.

Had he started asking about what gadget he's going to get for his recovery yet?
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Been there - Done that!

Super happy to hear that it was not worse. Fucking shit drivers! A pox on them all!

I know that he has good insurance; but don't sign anything until you obtain the services of a Very Good Lawyer.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery ol' Son! :ok

Best wishes to Gob for a speedy and full recovery! Best wishes to Hen and Hatch for a pleasant nursing experience!

I know he loves his motorbike; I love them too, but it's the many idiot drivers who can't seem to comprehend that not everything on the road has two headlights who scare me away from riding one.

Thanks everyone for your good thoughts. Gob is touched.

i am not sure it is as good as I thought. He is unable to bear his weight standing and is in quite 'significant' pain.

he made me leave him at the hospital so I went to work and put in a good solid two hours during stupid time so that everything will tick over nicely in the morning.

If the bloody big arse thinks he can get rid of me tomorrow, he has another think coming.
Bah!

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
