track day

Just to let everyone know, Chris had an accident yesterday at Silverstone, He is currently in Cambridge hospital, from what Katie tells me its not too serious, but serious enough. He has badly injured his right hand, and was due to have a skin graft op. today. As and when I know more, I'll post up.

Oh dear Tez, please pass on our regards, thanks for letting us know. I hope his shoulder problems haven't been worsened by this.

Sorry to hear this Terry.
Hope the op goes as well.
Get well soon Chris.

Shit. Keep us posted terry.

Blimey, hope I didn't leave a bad omen there as I going around and around the joint last Wednesday.

Hopefully, it's a good recovery and that it's not too much of a op on his hand. No issues with his right shoulder I hope.

Sorry to hear of Chris's misfortune

Hope the Op goes well and he returns to full health and fitness soon. Get well soon Chris buddy

Hope Katie and Family are well and not to worried/upset with yer biking high jinx

Cheers
Tel

Best wishes to Chris and Katie Terry.

Hope he gets well soon!

Sorry to hear this Terry, tell him we were asking after him.

Cheers

Cheers folks, had an op this morning and currently laid up in Coventry hospital awaiting another in the morning.

Highsided at Copse at around 90mph! Ouch!

The most frightening corner on the track because of the speed you can do.

140+mph straight, brake, drop to 3rd to keep the revs at 10k then throw the bike in and power round.

Sore arse on landing? Really sorry to hear about your incidence Chris.

Haha, sore EVERYWHERE mate! God knows how those racer lads do it week in, week out!

Yeah, it's a big balls corner. Blind entry too. Rear spun up just as I tapped on the power at the apex.

Once I've edited the footage I'll pop it up.

Yeah I missed my braking point on that corner once ( just trying to eek out that bit more, as you do ) and ended up just over shooting that corner and luckily, there's tarmac on the run off.

Many of times I just prayed for my tyres to not let go.

How's the bike looking? ( it's a man thing! )

Ooh shit not good. Glad to see you are on the mend mate.

Paul

Good luck with the op tomorrow - I hope everything goes well!

Can't believe they made you look like IgglePiggle Chris.

Seriously though, hope you mend very well very soon.

GWS Chris!!

Oh no! At least they're sorting it! GWS lovely x

Looks a bloody sore one mate.

Best of luck with the op.

YOIKS! Hope you mend soon Chris...

PS: Remember Whisky is a great pain killer and I,m sure you have a stash of that

Chris had a big op today should have been 4 hours, apparently it was six. Katie says he will never have proper use of his thumb again, and lost the tip of his ring finger, let you know more as and when.

We are so sorry to hear this Terry. Please pass on our get well wishes to Chris and our regards to Katie. We will keep an eye out for updates on his hopefully speedy recovery.

Best wishes for a quick recovery, and I hope any lasting damage doesn't curb your enthusiasm too much.

With my ageing body I tend to be a bit (read much) more cautious around there than the speeds you'd be doing - think back row of inters. But it's still a huge adrenaline rush circuit. Hope you get back there soon.

So sorry to hear this Chris, hope you make a speedy recovery. Are you still in Coventry hospital? I work in Cov and could pop in and say hello

Chris is hoping to be discharged on Tuesday Tony, If you don't have his mobile I can pass it on to you.

Aye, still in Cov. Hopefully out tmw, depending on what state my arm is in once they remove the dressing in the morning.

Thanks for the offer Tony but I'm piss-poor company at the minute. Full of morphine, sore and sleepy.
