Sorry to hear your mates fate chippy,, bad for him and awful for his family kids and friends..

Been working the last 5 years with a good mate of much longer. We were riding buddies and every ride we went on one of us would end up with broken bones from some freak accident...we'd always get ourselves and our bikes out of the Bush and back to the cars and drive ourselves to hospital to get patched up. We were pretty proud of that and broken legs arms ribs and collar bones wouldn't stop us.

Yesterday he came off down Anglesea way, broke his leg....and decided he was too busy to wait for the ambulance that was called and would take care of himself as usual....he drove back to Melbourne and checked himself into hospital some many hours after the break, his femur was broken in 4 places.

As a result of this and further complications he passed away this morning aged 44 leaving behind an 8 yo son, wife and 2 older step kids, lots of loving family and some pretty awesome friends...

Shocking.

shocking and terrible lose.! yep we are our worst own enemies sometimes. all the best chippy.

I also pulled my site sponsorship. Mainly because of the knobend newbies on this site arguing with all the experienced guys when they clearly haven't got a clue. Good blokes on the dribble thread though.

It will be dark soon

In about 3.5 hours judging by the position of the sun in the sky and compared to its relative position against the moon.

Maybe if you ask nicely. Then again it will attract other animals that veggies dont.
