Get Well Soon RichM . . .

[Tontsy]

ladies and gents.

a close friend of mine and to many on here, RichM aka Rich Mo, has been involved in a Motorbike accident! he Rides a Honda CBR400!
i dont know the full ins and outs nor is it my place to speak of the event, but ive had brief words with his Girlfriend.

he has been left with several broken bones in his back, and is paralysed from the Chest to his Feet.
has undergone major surgery, and is being relocated to a different Hospital next week!

he is talking, which is a good thing!
but lets hope for a full recovery!


i was only saying to him on the weekend that we can go on rides in the evenings together!

[Mcinabout]

Sorry to here about that dude, not a nice think to here at all, i hope he gets well soon though:y: Get well soon Rich.

[Toms112]

Jesus, never good to hear something like this. Wish him a healthy recovery from us all.

[haz_pro]

=( do they think the paralysed parts will stay like it?

fingers crossed he makes a full recovery, this has put me off getting a bike license!

[SnaRe]

Oh shi~. Hope he makes a full recovery Tonto. Shame to hear about the accident. :(

[stinkycheese]

Horrible news. Hope he makes a full recovery.

[MikeyW]

Couldn't believe it when you text me Matt.

Fucking terrible news, give me a shout if you get a chance to see him, would like to come.

Recover soon Rich and come join us on sax-p once again.

[J222JRA]

Pass on my regards to him Tonto.

Hope he gets well soon.

[Matt67]

Good luck with the recovery fella

[CampDavid]

Bad news there.

No quick recover on this one, prepare of hours of being a superb friend. I would start by purchasing him an Xbox and Forza because he's going to have a fuck load of spare time on his hands and very limited movement.

[frankie]

Hope he makes a good strong recovery...

[CHIP]

Not good! Hope he recover's quickly and to full fitness!

[cowan1]

[D--R--E--W]

Something like this just happened today a few miles from my house. Guy on a 125 going down a road about 60 and a guy pulled out a junction on him. The guy was rushed to hospital with major neck and back injuries and the guy he crashed into got a cut face from the side window smashing

[JonCarter]

OUCH!! get well soon RichM i thought my accident was bad(ish) but i got off lightly i guess...

[brogan5050]

[Dave89]

[deans2k8]

bikes are not good things to have crashes on at all..thing is people just dont look out for bikes as much as they should my mate who is also on here was riding his and some drunk pulled out infront of him in a renault laguna...lost all the nerves in his left arm and had to have it amputated.....hope rich makes a full recovery as he sounds like a top lad

[Tontsy]

thanks for all the kind words guys!
i will be showing him this, and im sure he'll love all the attention!

i think the idea of XBOX and forza is a bloody good one!
and he is currently at Derriford in Plymouth but being moved to salbury . . . where ever that is :n:

[Dom]

Hope he gets better! Sorry to hear about this.

Its a dangerous time for bikers, Cars just fail to see that they are there :n:

[nicole_]

[Robin91]

Always nasty when you hear things like this, it's what'd put me off ever getting a bike.. Hope hes alright and makes a full recovery!

[Tontsy]

got a text from Tina *his gf* this afternoon saying he just came out of surgery!
and is awake!

so far, its all looking good!
but no visits allowed yet! so im still waiting for to hear about a date i can go see him!

it has kind of put me off taking the new bike out for a blast, but speaking to my mum about it, she said "if you live your life in fear of having an accident then you'll never do anything" which to me makes alot of sense!

all the best Mo! hope your keeping strong! i know Tina is!

[MikeYost]

Very good to hear the op went well, hope he recovers quickly!

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

Life is crewl and most times to the wrong people that it shouldnt happen to. best of luck dude we all hope you recover in time. people are thinking of you on here and have respect.

[RichM]

Hi there this is rich's girlfriend here. Im sat next to him in a hospital in salsbury. Me and Rich says a big thanks for all the comments and asking about him. There is a high chance he is going to be paralised from the chest down. So could be in a wheel chair for the rest of his life. (Hes telling me what to type) Thanks again for all the support guys :)

Ill update if somthing changes and how hes getting on with his rehab

[lilboxman]

Sorry to hear such bad news Rich, Best regards to you and yours.

[CHIP]

Bah, that's shit pal. I hope you aren't going to be paralysed!

Best of luck!

Hate hearing about this stuff, it stick's in the back of your head when you're out on the bike. But i guess it makes you think a bit more before you twist the throttle too much.

Worst thing is though that alot of the accidents are caused by car drivers!

I really want a motorbike but i not sure i would be able to hearing about all the accidents!

[MikeyW]

Tina, send him my wishes please. And please let me and tonts know when he is back in mouth :) really can't believe it. Mikey xxx

[frankie]

i dont mean to be rude, but do you not mean salisbury?

A family friend had a bad bike accident a few years back when he was hit by a van on a country road. He was paralysed , however he has made a FULL recovery now and he's wanting back on his bike and soon to be going round the 'ring in his car

Just saying this so you don't fear the worst!

Wish you the best of luck with a full recovery :y:

the majority of motorbike accidents are because of the twat in a car, not the rider themself!
fact.

but who knows... i have all faith in Mo tbh! and know he wouldnt of done anything to have caused this, and ill stand by that!

[Powellyboi]

Hope he makes a full and fast recovery - accidents are accidents and people tend to forget that these days!!

[CHIP]

I really want a motorbike but i not sure i would be able to hearing about all the accidents!

You have to have eye's in the back of your head. Seen some car driver's who are very good to biker's but there's also a lot of nobs.

Like i said above pal ^^

One that annoy's me is when a biker wants to nip round afew car's, but the car infront will pull to the white line - sometimes even over - just to try and stop you nipping round them.
Seriously, once you're round, you're gone! They don't have to see you anymore, so why try and stop you :S

[dav0506]

yeah man, its annoying that some car drivers are so ignorant towards us!
but its perfectly legal for us to do so, and to filter!

there was one thing local, and two bikes were riding, and one had a tank camera! so its all on video for the court...
and the bikes went to over take so crosed the dashed lines and started to do so and with that, this car pulled out to do so too! into the side of the bike, and killed him.

im glad that i got my bike license before i started driving! you appreciate other road users ALOT more! and i still dont think there is enough out there to make the other drives THINK BIKE!

[McGuire86]

Cant believe this, fucking shocking news.
Rich dont give up hope, there may be a chance, like they say no one really understands how the back works.
I really hope you make a full recovery !

Makes me think how lucky i am when i came off a bike

[RichM]

hey guys, just on a short mish on my phone running at gsm speed as i dont think they heard of 3g or edge mobile connection around here. Anyway thanks for all the support guys, should be back home after about 4 to 6 months of rehab using wheel chair. Il be wheelying past you tonts :y:
Today i feel that my lungs are starting to breathe easier and clearer, neck seems a lil less stiff. This whole crash has entirely changed my views on living and how im lucky to still be here whereas i took life for granted, i wish to now travel around the world as there are so much more out there.

Theres an article with pic on my local news paper's website somewhere, tonts or mikey, if u can search for it and link up, it would be great. Ill this now and maybe update as and when or ill text tonts with the lo down

And sorry dude I couldn't the story anywhere on the website. Probably me being a failure but I'll have another look in the morning.

Let us both know when your back down as I'll be straight there and you know it haha.

Take care dude

[gazwhittle]

is this the story guys

Did you hist a bus rich?

[JamesR]

Jesus, i ride a bike myself and it makes me want to never climb onto a bike again, hope you recover fully - all the best mate.

[Tony]

Rich - You have a really good attitude mate, I wish you as best of a recovery as you can get. Keep us updated.

[rey]

Great to hear your staying positive dude! Keep it up!

You'd also be suprised how bad Motorbike riders are on the road when they know they could easily die. One prime example, watch that Stu-Pid video. Or that court case where a guy got caught doing something like 130mph on the Motorway with his teenage son as Pillion. It's more of a 50-50 between bad drivers, and bad riders. I hardly ever see a Bike Rider follow the speed limit where I live, and where I live there are lots of blind bends with a junction right after it. That's where accidents happen when you're going too fast that you cause an accident as you're not seen but going too fast to react.

This really ISN'T the thread to be arguing over this buddy.

[Tom_Crx]

This really ISN'T the thread to be arguing over this buddy.
+ 1 mate, a member of the site has been hurt in a crash and support is needed not criticism.

Don't know you personally rich but never nice to hear things like this, hope you have a full speedy recovery mate

[Whiskerzz]

good luck with the recovery buddy :y:
fingers crossed all goes well and suffer no ill effects in he long term

[Tontsy]

This really ISN'T the thread to be arguing over this buddy.

One case...

Any motorbike rider will be superior to any car driver, your sitting outside with no detractions clearly focussed on the road ahead of you, a motorbike rider has much more 'feel' of a road, the corner the pot hole coming up and the slippery wet drain are all taken into account riding day in day out, motorbikes are lighter than cars with quicker engines and brakes that stop instantly...don't be so quick to judge.

Get well soon pal, didn't know it was you at first then read the thread through and saw your post.

[Cal]

All the best Rich, wouldn't wish this on anyone. Hope you make a full recovery.

[Liam_]

Sorry to hear Rich - hope you're back on your feet soon. :y:

[Mattymcn]

get well soon Rich!

and i hope you make a full recovery!
and we are all thankful to still have you here today!

take it easy mate!

[RichM]

Did you hist a bus rich?

Thats the website mate cheers and yea that was the bus that pulled out on me, but i didnt hit the bus i slid off when i hit my brakes hard, but i think my bike may have slid into the bus and hit it.

[MikeyW]

And the bastard makes a return ;) cheers for waking me up last night haha. You know I don't mean it :hug:

Such a shock as I've used that corner for the past 7 years. Was it the bus that pulled right into the cobbled street that goes uphill ? Forgot the name of the road. Says that some of the students got off the bus to help you and call the services etc. Was good of them :)

So glad your awake and talking bud.

[Connor_scotland]

Not goot to hear mate.

Hope your mate gets better soon!

[auds]

Really sorry to hear this and really hope you make a full and speedy recovery :) all the best :)

Get well soon pal, didn't know it was you at first then read the thread through and saw your post.

And if you read my comment, I stated how there is a 50/50 ratio of bad drivers to bad riders. You can't say that every Bike Rider is a superior rider. As with drivers you get the idiots who push too far. And I never tried to start an argument, or judge RichM or anyone, but to say all Car Drivers are the causes of Motorbike accidents is a bit ludicrous. I never stated anything about RichM's crash, and never even said his name in my original post. So don't be so quick to judge my comments and mis-construe them.

[Boosted]

get well soon RichM, hope you will be able to make a full recovery!
