Looks like Pedro will be out of action for a couple of weeks
He highsided his 749R today at cadders:( Bust his wrist, collar bone, badly swollen ankle plus one not so nice looking 748R.

Oh bugger!!

Get well soon Pedro :)

:o :(

I hope Pedro is feeling ok!

Just as a matter of interest, what time did this happen?

10am, wasnt doing anything mad, just feathering her around my second sech after sitting out the first due to a little rain, had slicks on,went with a set of pilot powers to pop on if weather wasnt up to much. no one their to fitt tyres as the regular guy was on his hols. i was on my last but one lap when i found the outer exit curb offered no grip to the rear slick,(was up right) whoosed me left then popped me up,bike fell on its left,i landed on my wrist-snap-crunch-.sent to hospital for x-rays,fed pain killers,wrist is in plaster at the mo,hozzi in the morn to assess etc,twisted my foot--ouch--- broke the collar bone. must re- think these track days as my wife isnt to haapy,:(. nice to see you yeti,ladybird,simon,red ruth. im off to bed:eureka:

Sorry to hear about your off Pedro. Too much power those 749r's :o I am off loading mine at the moment for an 05 R1 track bike as i would like a wee bit extra ;)

Hope you heal fast Pedro and the Duc, keep in touch and let me know how your doing.

Regards, Bill

Good job its yor left hand Pedro, what with Sam not being very happy, I don'tthink you will be getting any nuptuals:lol:

Missed you this morning Pete.
I arrived at lunch to see your van and hear the news.

Hope you heal quick and the bikes repairable, it sounded a bit of a mess was made to it?

Heal quick mate

Yella

PS. Marriage aint everything, but it can cost more than that ;o)

sorry to hear about your incident Pedro... All the best for a speedy recovery

sorry to hear that pedro, hope you heal soon and you can get the bike sorted and back out there.

OUCH!!!

Rest up mate, I hope the break isn't too bad and you'll be ok.

Pedro,

Hope it stops hurting very soon, unfortunately you may feel the pain in your wallet a little longer ...

Get well soon mate .....

Steve I think the track was dry at the time, Pedro got the rear wheel on the curbing exiting the hairpin. I think he might have turned in a little to early. The rear spun out and when it made contact with the tarmac and gripped again, spat him off in protest.

Don't think he was even on the gas !,were you pete ?

we'll put it down to a racing incident !,all the top racers/riders use this cover all term !

get better soon,pete,them san miguels in the coming weeks,will speed the recovery up m8 !

simons / jon are right,as i was just feathering arond i found the front tyre was cooling off, my s/r was to enter the turn early which made me exit wrong,i wasnt on the gas,i was rolling over the rumble strip

get well soon man !! sounds nasty.

/ian

Damp was the operative word Weeksy, there was not much, and even so there was bags of grip even for slicks which I was also running. Damp on painted kerbing is a different matter.

GWS Pedro :sing:

Sorry to read this Pedro,

The bike will heal. Glad to hear your injuries will also heal in time - That's 2. You might get lucky 3 times and find that Mrs Pedro will soon calm down too.

Take it easy mate.

Regards, Guy

im on the long road to recovery now,collar bone kills like hell,carnt get comfy at all.wrist is ok at the mo till i see the specialist tomorrow afters.decided to not to track again this year as i wont be 100% till mid august, i dont want to risk any mone breaks as ive now had both collar bones broke:P.

Make sure they plate them well Pedro. You don't want yout head rolling off:lol:

took me six months before my collar bone felt anywhere near how it used to. Couldn't sleep on my right side for 3 months. Still have a massive callious after healing.

I feel your pain.:sniff:

I broke my collar bone when I was 18 and was mountain biking (gently though) after 3 weeks. Best to keep it active and don't use the sling, that way the muscle doesn't waste away too much

Sorry to hear the news Pedro...Hope you are all mended soon and back out on two wheels ASAP:(

Pedro is not feeling very well tonight folks. He had his wrist pinned and wired today.

OWWWWCCHHHH!!!!!
