I have been out with Nick Crisp , he was ahead of me, out of sight, I came around the corner, there was his bike on its side,sticks, stones everywhere, passed it and there he was lay by the road in the grass,,i saw him open his visor,
that alone was the biggest relief, got to him, he was having a struggle to breath but was manageing it, and odd word,,
Ambulance,, he talked better after ten miutes,,back pain,,so onto a board and gone to Shrewsbury hospital.. hope is is going to be ok xxx
Bike,,well ran out of road,,went along the trees,hedge,not through it,,slid , more like,,dented tank,,right footrest off,,but mostly seems ok,,as is him I hope..
Bike, I rode it to a house nearby, a local bloke stopped and was brill, his wife a firstaider orso,
I have some pics,,,for him ,,hope he gets out to see them..
Come on Nick , you have been through worse..

Got to love this modern culture of taking pictures of extreme situations and unfortunate victims :lol
Reminds me of a mate of mine who is a retained fire fighter, turns up on a shout but has to get the compulsory selfie first with his colleagues with building burning out of control in the background....Priceless photo.

I cant see what there is for him to be grumpy about slim....not like he's plastered all over foc-u lying in the undergrowth like a bit of road kill.......oh wait......he doesnt know yet :b
Well im no doctor but im pretty sure fractured vertebrae is better than nerve and/or disc damage so here's hoping that its some clean fractures that will fuse themselves solid again.
Lucky those trees are so bouncy & forgiving too......he'll get a name for himself doing hedge strimming stunts like that......"strimmer the strummer".....if he aint inside strumming he's outside strimming.
Come on Nick get online in your bed & reveal.

The damaged bits in his spine seem to need holding in place until the area has settled, I don't think it is too bad as long as the bones don't move,pinch nerves..don't know how long that will be on.

Slim - on a serious note, it's not good news about Nicks back and certainly wouldn't fancy it myself...... so the question is, was he wearing a back protector ???? If he wasn't then do you think it may of helped him. Just thought I'd ask seen as there are a few new riders on the forum and a bit of "advice" would help.

Whilst the question is interesting in itself, remember Nick has had very big offs before. Can't remember if his last smashup involved back damage, but it's why his left (I think?) shoulder is weaker than his right one. With a weakened system, I would suggest he would be more susceptible to bits breaking to those who haven't seriously injured themselves in the past.

I think it would be a good idea for you to start a separate post all about what protection you wear.

Simple, straight and relevant question I thought. Not digging him out if he wasn't wearing one - his choice on what he wears. I know he has had previous offs and issues as a result. Like I said, maybe a heads up for newbies.

Nick is not supposed to laugh and you lot want me to take the laptop into hospital :lol :lol :lol :lol
Nick as i do too wear good quality bike jackets with back armour built in,mine feels fairly solid ,,he landed on the sharp edge of the tarmac where it finished and dropped onto grass lower down,a very sharp edge,,,how much his inbuilt armour helped ,,no one knows
As for his riding ability, well he said he has ridden over 3000 miles in the last two and a half weeks :eek ,, when this happened admitadly
we were riding for fun,,you kno, we all do it sometimes,vrrmmm vrmmm :lol , watch the hedge :eek :evil
The damage would not of been so bad but Nick is a bit weak on his right shoulder side,,years ago damage,,lots of it,,as he dropped off the edge of the road,,he thought he could still survive it but the jolt made him slip back on the seat and opened the throttle wide,,, :eek :eek
, yes he did those bushes on full throttle,,haha,, riding the hedge of death,,,a witness told us of the screaming engine..

He has his back brace fitted,,he has been up and out for a fag :\
There is a chance he will be home today,Wednesday,,depending on another x-ray inspection.
He is very happy with Devilsyam and his offer to have the bike down at his and source a whole new fairing,ect set (haha,even though its is blue,,(,hhaha,the best mod ever to make it fast,,==make it blue.) :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
He didn't like the laughing pain when I told him, about his coma lasting ten years and Christo has finished his project and Noggy has been for a ride on his,,,he did not fall for that :lol :lol :lol :lol

Many thanks for all the good wishes expressed here, this remains a great little community we have here :thumbup
Just a short reply for the moment, bit tired, bit sore :\
Sum total of damage to myself was two cracked vertebrae (t9, t10), no displacement, and all stable. Bruises and contusions to lungs, and discovered on getting mobile again properly for the first time yesterday having had a back brace fitted that I must have twisted my left knee a bit (again :rolleyes), but not too bad, will heal ok I think.
Luke, will be in touch shortly :)
@taylor - that showed you sheep-shaggers, didn't it! :lol
@frosties - you will NEVER get your hands on my bike! :lol

Just to put the record straight ;)
This little trip into the undergrowth was not because of the bike - a momentary lapse of concentration on my part, all down to me. We'd just about got to Newtown, and that bike was handling beautifully. I had actually eased off a bit when I came off; looked back at where I was going, to find it just too late to correct and save it :rolleyes Once again, a low speed spill where circumstances contrived to ensure that once in the situation, I just couldn't get out of it in time. At one point, even running along the hedgerow on the grass verge, I thought I'd get it back on the road, but somehow I slipped/was pulled back on the seat, causing me to actually open the throttle, and I wasn't able, for just a fraction of a second, to let it go. I dunno, hard to put everything exactly into sequence in my head now.
I'm just now hoping that the back injury doesn't affect me too badly in the long term. I already had some back problems accumulated over the years, making some things hard work (like washing the bike for instance :( ), but was managing ok. The X-rays and scans they did this time around confirmed a number of compressed etc vertebrae from previous times, some possibly as a direct result of injury, some from more indirect use having to carry for so many years other injuries elsewhere. At the moment, I'm fine after taking the shit-load of painkillers I've been prescribed and a bit of a rest, but this morning, feck me, that wasn't fun to wake up to!
I don't need anyone to jinx me fella; I do that quite adequately all by myself :\ I dunno - I know I should ease off a bit, but when I get on those lovely winding roads, I just can't seem to help myself. Thank feck I have no dependants to worry about, cos I'm sure one of these days it'll be end-ex for me.
But, d'you know, I was having so much fun up til the point where I realised I was gonna hit the deck that if I'm ever going to go, this is the way I would want it to be. In hospital, I sat and watched an old fella die of a chest infection and other complications - if that's dying of old age, you can keep it. Sounded like he was trying to breathe underwater at the end.
I once said that the day that all I can ride is a scooter, I'd quit two wheels. I think the same would apply to trikes.
Thanks again to all the well-wishers. Dave48, half the bleedin country would be named after me if we were to go down that route! :lol I thought ARAF meant "go for it, you riding God" :lol

Because they will have seen it was not a sharp bend,just a long kink,,
Post by: devilsyam on 10 May 2015, 07:14:06 pm
well bikes back with me and the shopping list starts if anyone has donations will save lot hunting
bill the geezer at hilltop was a top bloke very helpfull
as to the crash site if it had been any of the three previous bends id had said thats were i would have expected it to of occurred
but the scene is a wide open down hill bend and not to taxing, the damage to the foilage would indicate a very late exit
two things worry me the center stand is broke in a very odd way and there is a mark on the rear tyre not consistant with the damage
im no acciadent expert i just say wot i see and cant explain
its late im knackered as a 300 miles round trio being largly stuck behind fuckin push bikes on some endurance race
ill review my findings later in the daylight
