Well i’m taping this out from hostpital,,,last wednesday I went for an avo ride out on my usual tracks,pland on doing about a 70 k loop,working on some ride fitness for the OBT B day ride.
Got about 30 k’s in and had a stupid moment ,slowing down to get around a tree blocking the main track I was on,some how droped the bike rite on my leg,doing about 15-20 klics.Snaped my shin bone inside my boot,like a carrot,,could not beleve it,I tryed to straiten it out ,thingking of riding out,but the break was obviouse.
Shit,,now i’m in trouble,,Got my helmet n glovs off then went for the camel back for the phone,,,made the 000 call and the serch was on.
Got my self as compfy as posible and they kept me on the line almost the whole time till the chopper arived.IT was starting to get a bit late in the avo so I was sure glad to see that copper.Because of the tree tops they couldn
t do a winch out,it had been about 2 hours by now.
The ambo’s managed to get a 4by in there to get me out and a couple of local blokes that the cops called in for local knolage were riders so one of em road the RMX out and is keeping it at his place till I can manage to go and get it,top blokes.
The ambo’s had a bit of fun in a creek crosing,,botoming the Pajero out a couple of times,but they got me out.
I’m going for surgery today to finaly get this bone mended with a metel rode they intend to shove in there.
So I wont be atending the 4th OBT B Day ride and I’m am sooo disapointed, I’v been so enjoying my riding I just cant beleve my luck.

May 27, 2012 at 2:06 pm #222737Unlucky M8. But just remember we can rebuild you making you better and faster than before, but then again that wouldn’t be to hard, you were always pretty slow.
May 27, 2012 at 2:25 pm #222739Shit Teza very unlucky. Keep your chin up mate. Lucky you had phone service champ :ohmy:
Take care and hope to see you back out on the trail one day soon.Cheers,

May 27, 2012 at 2:36 pm #222740Bugger! That’s no good, hope it all goes well mate, I’m sure you could come out to the Bday bash for a few pian killing cans :laugh: and I recon we could get 100 signatures on your cast 😆
Take it easyPTW
May 27, 2012 at 3:21 pm #222729That’s no good Teza

Every cloud has a silver lining
Tell the boss that it wouldn’t have happened with a new late model bike as they are so much lighter 
Get well soon and good luck with the surgery

Sam sends his regards too

May 27, 2012 at 4:42 pm #222730Sorry to hear that Tezza,
You survived though mate get well soon and hope youve got some hot nurses to keep you distracted.cheers
May 27, 2012 at 4:44 pm #222745Shit a brick Tezza!! That’s bad luck mate. It reminds me of when I ended up with my leg in plaster, the week before one of our Xmas parties at the Watagans. I still went and got drunk with the boys and hobbled around on crutches, so consider coming out to the party still as I had a good time regardless.
May 27, 2012 at 5:17 pm #222749I am glad to hear they got you out ok Teza. Imagine if you had no phone reception.
It shows real character to stay calm in that situation mate and I wish you a speedy recovery.STM
