Hey old bulls, Mick from orange hospital here.
Firstly thanks so much to Galey for helping after the accident and coming to see me at hospital after. What a great guy. 
Secondly thanks to all the guys who helped get me to an ambulance and everyone else who stayed around and waited with me and kept my spirits up.
Galey was right, my femur was completely snapped and the patella shattered. Now I have a titanium rod; some screws and wire keeping them in place. No idea yet on recovery time, as it depends on how quickly the patella heals.
Looking forward to getting on the bike again as soon as possible.
Thanks for the well wishes, Mick

Lads,

I am off to visit Mick in Orange Hospital today. I will pass on all your good wishes. I will update on my return.

Also spoke to a lovely lady at Adventure moto today who took my order for a bright orange Spot Tracker ($219 0n special) and ICE usb card ($10). Perfect colour to match the Kato! # 1 and 2 on the best sellers list! Maybe after the weekend there has been a rush on:) I told her that TB and the OBT crew gave me the heads up and i think she muttered something that I couldnt pick up:woohoo: This seriously must be the one stop shop for any Adv and Trail rider looking for their adv gear. Well done to the OBT crew for getting them on board as a sponsor and the preso on Sat night showed their commitment to our members.

Awesome pics and vids and love the bench racing even if it is via a keyboard.

Peace out

Galey

And no I don’t get stuck in mud. I have learn’t that much at least from Mal 5.1 can ride.:laugh:

Hi Galey, good to know you feel safer in the world now you have your SPOT sorted mate. I missed another great ride because I was looking after a bunch of mates on bikes and we had a few incidents which kept me from getting out there even though we were in the area. TB reckons I can’t actua;;y ride and it’s all in my imagination .I reckon one of these days i will get out there with you mad bunch and have some OB fun.

Anyway we are happy to support the OB’s and am especially glad about the money raised.

Cheers

Steve

Ollie has to earn his stripes yet!! Although after the weekend he is one step closer to acceptance.
Once he learns to start it we might http://www.wildearth.com.au/optimus-terra-weekend-ultralight-cookset-095l-p-1354.html being his friend. :laugh:

Since when did you get your stripes :laugh:

Ollie’s starting problems are fixed when he listens which I saw him do many a time started easy and well. We are going to do a bike maintenance day I think and cover some stuff but in hind sight he did really well on it. Going to show him same things showed you that I have learnt the hard way over the years :huh: Then yes Mick he may pull his head out of is arse and admit it’s a better mouse trap then he has given them credit for being

TB

Boys thanks for the starting tips it really did help get the 6Fiddy going, just glad I didnt crash her on the side of some rutt infested goat track :laugh: By the time we got onto the Turon River trail I was feeling at one with the big girl, definatley not real happy in the single trail stuff or maybe thats just me :laugh: hats off to anyone who rides one of these in the tight single track
Looking forward to the maintenance day at TB’s

I have taken a heap of photies of all the steps and processes ive done to get it up to the stage she is at now and will post it up when I get some time.

Only cause you woke up at lunch time

That is a bit ripe from a fella I saw sitting in his swag eating breakfast as we rolled out for the morning loop on Sunday.
:laugh:

I’m pretty sure Tisco (Scott if I am not mistaken) rolled out with the Sunday morning ride,,,,,, then came back a short time later after coming off in the water somewhere.
