Hanging up my gloves & lid

First off - that’s awful news, get well soon... that sounds like a very nasty crash indeed. Good luck with the recovery.

If it makes you feel any better, I hit a pothole at 5mph on my bicycle while clipped in and mashed my knee up at the end of January and it’s only just back to normal. Happens oh so easily...

Bones do heal - but life still goes on and bills need paying. Sad to hear you are forced to sell up, but fully understandable given the injuries.

 

devastated to hear, as you know, but keep strong and am always here for you, as you also know.

 

Very sad news indeed mate, bodies heal and so does the mindset.
sadly, it does take longer with age and that's the same for hangovers
Good to hear that you are one piece (ish) and I find that doctors estimations tend to be very worst case scenario.
Onwards and upwards hey...

 

What dreadful news. Hope you are OK and starting to heal. Really pissed off for you.Hope you stay involved with the forum as you would be missed.

 

That’s chuff, on the bright side, although not great for you at the moment, you are still here, I’m sure there’ll be some banter in the coming weeks.

 

Well.... That's certainly a pretty shit run of luck there.

All I can say is hope you heal up fast and can get back to normal or close enough as quick as possible.

 

All the best, hope you are recovered soon

 

WOW Steffy, that sounds terrible mate.

I can only echo what others above have said, I hope you heal well & with a better outcome than you've been lead to expect.

With regards to hanging up your lid & selling the Boxter etc.. I do understand where that's coming from. The only person in the world who truly knows what's best for you is you.
However we only get one go at this existence, & it's important that you don't keep yourself safe at the expense of your happiness imho.

Got in from work and started reading your first post waiting for a punch line! Oh fck, sorry to read this is for real Steve.
Life can change very quickly and unexpectedly, consequently you have to make decisions what's best at the time, so selling the toys is understandable.
Hope you can recover quickly without long term issues, though sometimes it might be a long haul.
Keep your chin up, bud.

 

Sorry to hear it has to end like that and I hope you get better soon, nothing worse than giving up something you love but your health is your wealth. Sell all you need cars etc will always be around.

 

Sad times dude. Hope you get on the mend.

 

its a sad day
im also getting to the stage when im not sure how much longer ill be riding
sports bike for sure is coming to a end as my hip is real bad after a spirited ride recently
im 52 this year never thought my bones would ache like they do at times
ive always had atleast 2 bikes since I was 16 so to think my biking days may end in the next year or 2 is hard to think about
maybe the old gpz in profile pic might finally get the rebuild I started a few years back before my grandkids came along

 

Very sorry to read this, Steffy...wishing you all the very best for a full & speedy recovery.

 

Sad news Steffy, I wish you all the best for a full healthy recovery.

 

Hey Steffy that’s terrible news! Hopefully we’ll get over to see you soon.

 

Wow, amazing how fortunes can change in the blink of an eye. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Its difficult selling all the things you like and love but life and health is worth more than material things. Yes they made/make you happy, but only for the short term. As you say, long term they could end up causing you more grief and ultimately then not make you happy.

As I said, hopefully you have a speedy recovery. All the best.
