Biker Down!

[Muttley]

Just to let you know, S4MAD Martin had an argument with a car last week and him and his Yam 125 came off worst :cry:

To cap it all, it sounds like a rubbernecking car driver managed to run the bike over a second time cos he was too busy looking at Martin laying in the road :banghead:

His right leg took all the force and he has managed to push the ball joint right through his pelvis, he's now waiting for surgery to rebuild the joint.

I'm sure the whole club will want to wish him a speedy recovery, which as Didge pointed out will probably be just in time for winter again!

[Paranoid Dave]

too right we wish him well, i wish i could picture him, i'm sure we've met but i can't be sure of the face.

[Nonnie]

He's the lovely guy who fetched his equally lovely parents to take me to hospital last year. They told me they were happy to do it in the hope that if their son or daughter in law needed the same, they would get it. Sadly it seems not.

So sorry for you Martin. Buttercup must have had the fright of her life.

Get well soon. Thinking of you.

Blimey - martin never does things by halves does he??? :eek:

Mutts - send him all the best from us, wont you chum, and let us know which hosp he is in, so we can go & irritate him at some point :D

Charlotte & Alan

[Paranoid Dave]

It is who i was thinking of, not sure if that makes it better or worse
Hope things improve soon.

[ricky]

Best of luck martin. Hope ya get better soon! sure ya never know we could have a long summer!

[Didge]

At the moment, he's in Epsom General awaiting a bed at St Georges in Tooting for the op.
I visited him yesterday and got some laughs out of him, tho' obviousley he's pi55ed off about missing the Weekender, and him & Carol having to cancel their trip to the States later this year.
Anyway, at least he seems ok (Morphine does that), except for the broken hip, and for that small mercy, let's all be thankful.

[gary tompkins]

Sad news - I hope Martin is up and about again soon

[SazzaG]

Very bad news.

Mike, please send our best wishes to Martin and Carol.

Saz and Rog.

[Tigerlily]

Really sorry to hear about Martin, I must have met him at the weekender but I can't put a face to the name either. Fingers crossed that his op is soon and goes well.


Its a shame he'll miss the weekender this year and the summer riding but it's better to miss one than all of them.


Please send get well wishes me too.

[Muttley]

Thanks for your messages, i'll make sure he sees them.

PS he's the bloke on the far right!

[Pedro]

Send my best wishes too Mutters.

Ped

[Tigerlily]

Thanks for that Muttley..... I remember him now!

[singletrack]

I think we met last year on Boozy's Isle of Wight tour.

Best wishes to Martin from me too - and to Buttercup who must have been very worried.:worried:

[MilesB]

Muttley/Didge

Muttley,

Let me know when he's in St Goerge's, although I've never met him, I can pop in and say hello pass on any messages etc. as I only live over the road from the hospital. In the meantime, pass on my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Phil

Martin's been moved to St Georges in Tooting today (Sunday), ready for his op. (After 9 days waiting).:mad:
I don't know how long he'll be there, Muttley will post any further news when he gets the chance.

[Muttley]

Just got back from Tooting and it looks like he will get his opp on monday.
Not sure how long he will stay there yet tho'.....

Thanks for the messages folks, i've passed them on and he's chuffed.

Cheers Mutts

[pooh]

Muttley
Was Martin at the 2003 or 2004 weekender as I seem to recognise him, anyway either way send him regards from Lorraine and me.

Ian

[Muttley]

Will do Ian, yup he was at the 04 and 05 weekenders on a grey S4.

Not surprising you can't quite remember him tho', he's a quiet and unassuming bloke and easy to miss ......... unless you're driving a blue bimmer:dizzy:

[CK & AK]

Not surprising you can't quite remember him tho', he's a quiet and unassuming unless he has been for a bevvy with Muttley .........

how true!! :D

[CK & AK]

Mutts - any update on how the op went?

C

[Muttley]

Hi ya CK, Carol's just been round and he's doing ok.

He went up for his opp on monday at 9am and wasn't back untill 7pm, he'll be setting off metal detectors from now on!

Sounds like he'll be ok for visitors for the begining of next week.

[Albie]

I think I met him a few times at boxhill. I think he was going to sell me his s4. Best regards to him from me and Caroline.:D

[Muttley]

Will do Albie

[CK & AK]

as I am joining the ranks of the unemployed from tomorrow, tell Martin to expect me comin a visitin sometime next week Mutts :eek:

[Albie]

Thats not good CK. Good luck finding something. You could do courier as your mad enough:D :D

[Blufoot]

Pass on my distant regards too, never good to see a biker down.

All the best & a speedy recovery...

[Bodybag]

The NHS has the power .... they can re-build him (probably not the Yam)

it's just gonna take some time!

I hope someone takes him in a laptop so he can stay tuned to the UKMOC forum ... it whiles away the hours!

Best wishes Martin an' keep your hands off those nurses! :p

[Didge]

Do you know roughly how long he'll be in St. Georges Muttley? As Jan & I will get to see him, but just need to check to ensure he ain't been moved.

[Muttley]

Martin S4MAD gets to go home today ..... and with a bit of luck he'll be able to get down to Box Hill for the Megameet on sunday.
Better not be showing off his new titanium go faster plate tho' ... or the broken off drill bit that they left in there too!

[CK & AK]

cheers for the update Mutts, be god to see him there - and the forecast is looking good too for him:)

[MilesB]

:eyepopping: :hail:

[Didge]

Great! I can go around and annoy the bugger for a few hours. He won't be able to run from my botty vapours, so a very good victim to practice on, prior to the Weekender.:didge:

Good grief - I'm sure he's suffered enough already.
Didge - you are a cruel, cruel man.

Didge - you are a cruel, cruel man.

Have just spoken to him on the phone, and he sounds so much happier now he's at home.
I've forwarned him of a home visit from me, and the fact that he is not in any position to make a run for it, and for some reason he then didn't sound quite so chipper.:confused:
