Hello everyone,
My names Andrew from Sydney, Ive been on and off this forum since 2005 when I bought my B&W brand new.
I havnt had a bike since April last year when the guy behind be in a car didnt realise that I had come to a complete stop and needed my bike to help slow him down...
So 8 foot fractures, 4 shoulder tears, 1 wrist fracture and 1 wrist tear later (and still 1 wrist operation to go) I might be buying another 14.
We shall see what happens tomorrow,
All the best

Gidday Andrew, welcome to Mick's place, nice to have you aboard.   It wouldn't have been this forum, we're only 3 years running, it would of been the old org.  Lots of those members found their way here too.   

The accident sounds bloody nasty, what'd the driver get?
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

Hope you get better soon Andrew, never heard anything about your incident. If Snapey doesn't see this I'll send him a message anyway. I've been on a couple of rides with you a long while back, Bathhurst and another ride out west.

Sends a chill up my spine hearing about these accidents. Glad your Ok and did you got the obligatory "Sorry mate!" 

Welcome back mate and good luck.  :cheers:

Welcome to the forum Andrew  :onya: hope you get sorted soon.  What is a neg-driving charge? is it a good telling off  :whistling:
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

Welcome Mate. No fun hospitals or recovery. Good feeling when thru it. A nice 14 will take away the pain.

I saw Andrew's first post Jeff (high milers club) and suggested he come here to tell his life story.

Bathhurst? I thought you moved to Ireland not bloody Victoria. They're the only ones who pronounce it as Bath Hurst :confused1: but that's to be expected as you well know they can't even pronounce Tallangatta.
If you look like your passport photo then you're too sick to travel.

Hi and welcome back.


Speedy recovery and such  :popcorn:

Thhat's a sticky key on my keyboard Snapey. Oh yes I remember Tallangella the best B@B I've ever stayed in.
