An early retirement Arse. No bone growth at all on my collarbone means no racing. Just had an x-ray today and the plates bent, pins pulling out, hurting like crap..... I'm going to need to go under the knife again before it'll start to heal, then there'll be another 4-6 months recovery, so my season ends here. I'm totally gutted, but it means that somebody else might have the chance to use the bike for a round or two. (Just picked it up from PDQ yesterday, making a healthy 63bhp). Will of course be at as many rounds as I can get to. Cheers, Ali |
Oh Christ, Ali. Worse than even you suspected, then. Gutted for you. :(:( |
Gutted for you M8:( |
Ali ,sorry to hear such dissapointing news. Some of your competitors may be smiling, but I think they would really be happier to see you mixing it on the grid. Im sure your presence in the paddock and grandstand will be just as well appreciated by all. Regards 4D |
Mate, I am completely gutted for you. You were looking very good on that bike too - it's a real shame. The world is a vampire. |

Well I stole it ... but I'm sure Billy Corgan wouldn't mind too much ... he's an artistic sort. |
... but it is SO true ... |
Ali gutted for you m8 :(:(:( was looking forward to racing with ya this season get sorted soon :) |
Ali! :o what can we say?? How awful for you mate:( |
Oh No:( I'm so sorry...gutted for you Ali :( Perhaps you could go to DD and give some of your competitors a bit of friendly advice/constructive criticism;) Lx |
Bugga....... was looking forward to seeing you back out there, blowing up engines and all that :D |

Good idea! I'll start with such classics as: "Don't fall off" "Fall gently" & "Stay on the black stuff". I'm sure that'll help! Thanks for the kind words all. :D Ali |
It just isnt possible to say how crap that kind of news is. I'm starting to feel so very lucky that my 4 lots of shoulder surgery and 2 lots of back surgery seem to have left me with so few problems. (Well for an old git anyway) I cannot describe how scared I was that something would go wrong. I just wish there was something I could do, but the best I can offer is a ride on my classic racers when your collarbone is healed. And it *will* heal, its just that you are going to need some intensive treatment to make it happen, and they always have to try the slow approach before the intensive approach. |
Mend soon chap |
Dreadful news - so sorry to hear it Ali - mend soon though :) |
borrocks - sorry to hear this Ali. |
That,s craap luck mate hope it heals quick. You could always help all the rest with abit of spannering[read hammering] that is everyone but us & dommy could be in with a chance.:rolleye::smug: |
Sorry to hear that |
Ali you disapoint me:( A real race would say sod it!!! I don't need it, it doesn't do anything except to stop my shoulder from wrapping itself around my neck. I get them to whip it out for good, end of problem:P I thought you luck was on the up until now. Speedy recovery M8 |

ali, really sorry to hear that mate. really hoped it would be ok for this season. but you've got to get it sorted properly i guess. wont be the same without you out there. not that i ever saw you unless you were blowing out black smoke! you'll obvioulsy still be very involved with the series and maybe a late season comeback? really would like to think so. |
FCUK thats bad luck mate :( |
Ali, tough break mate, you were one of the handful last season that no matter what the season threw at them didn't whinge, blame anyone else or spit the dummy ... Get well soon mate ... |

Ali, gutted for you. Sorry to hear this. I hope it gets sorted as soon as. |
FFS, get on the first plane out to Ireland and start kissing the Blarney Stone as you can do with a change of luck! GWS fella. |
Bummer, what a tough break Ali :( You were my target this season too... looks like I'll have to find someone else to aim for. Wouldn't recommend kissing the Blarney stone tho - I've seen what the locals do to it :o |
Ali that's such a downer mate, I'm really sorry for you and disappointed that you wont be on track to entertain us with your unique racing style which is always a joy to watch! Get well soon and come back fighting next year sir :biaggi: |
sorry to hear the bad news, Ali. hope youre back on the grid before the end of the season though to show 'em what theyve been missing!!! ;) |
Oy yer Turnip, thats not good, Spose it means someone else can have your bad luck, crap hope its not me. GWS ALI. :sniff: |
Damm, it if wasn't for bad luck you'd have no luck??? Still - better to come back for 2007 stronger and fitter then ever! (starting early with a Rossi mind-game for ya). Take care - Frank |
Wimp!!! |
Tough luck Ali, I was looking forward to seeing you fight for Class A rostrums this year. Get it sorted and maybe we will see you out there again sometime in the future |
