Raise a glass to my mate Carl...

[veeeffarr]

Who, about a week and a half ago was knocked off of his SP1 by a driver who fled the scene of the accident shortly after getting out of his car and making sure he was still alive, and then turning himself into the police the next day.

He's definitely decided he's not riding on the road again, but plans to get back on the track. He's pinned in a few places at the moment, did a fantastic job of demolishing a lamppost and a utility box apparently.

Went to see him in hospital today and he was his usual cheery self... I'd just like to dedicate this thread to Carl and wish him a speedy recovery. Carl, you are a true scouse legend

Thanks guys, I'll print this out and take it to him when I next see him

[Reppyboyo]

All the best matey!

Have to give a small amount of Kudos to the guy that hit him though, at least he turned himself in the next day. Bet most people wouldent do that.

The driver was obviously a total tit, but at least he made the effort to see if the mysterious Carl was alive - you'd hope that if he was in serious need the driver would've stayed around to help out. It shows a little bit of humanity that can often be found lacking in many such incidents.

Best regards to your mate Toby, been there, done that - didn't enjoy it a single bit. Fair fucks to him for taking some street furniture with him - going out in a blaze of glory, Si....Hetzer would be proud!

Sad to hear he's been put off bikes forever.

I hope one day he can regain his faith and go on a bike again and not to let this put him down. Get well soon Carl!

Quick update, he's only just returned home from hospital, and recovering slowly. Hope he makes a full recovery

[nick606]

fecking ell its been almost a year now. Good luck with his recovery

What did the driver get ?

[Paddy Blake]

I had a friend that got out after two years.He will need your help and help from his other friends.Get to know his family and friends so you all can figure out how best to help him.
It may be more than body damage so friends are needed to repair the head.Even just to be there to talk to can help a lot when things get rough.
Stick by him Toby.

The saying is if you fall of a horse you must get strait back on..
(or in this case get back on when he can)

Hope he hasnt lost the love..
