Phone call off GRNINJA today!!!!!!!!!!
« on: June 01, 2007, 05:55:46 PM »

Had a phonecall off Glenn today.

His first words were "Have you heard?"   [wall] [wall]

Its always bad news when it starts like that!

Anyway Glenn's had a small off in the IOM. He was out for a ride today,on his way to the mountain course and when into a corner and lowsided :-( He made contact with the bike as it was sliding and one of his boots came loose. The bike is not badly damaged at first inspection but there is a tiny hole in the clutch case and seeping oil :roll:

Glenn's injuries are to his foot and ankle but don't sound too bad and he said there is nothing broken,thank god. I take it its just bruising. He is struggling to put weight on it and walk at the moment.

He is hoping to fix it over there and ride it back but if thats not possible, he is going to fly back and pick the bike up after the TT.

I'm sure we will hear more soon.

Keep your chin up buddy and have a few more beers that normal to drown your sorrows and stop the pain :icon_thumleft:

BOLLOX, THATS A REAL PISSER. [wall] [wall] [wall] :cry:

hes only been there a few days, hope he  and bike get fit soon. put a bit of chewing gum over the hole, i hear that it goes rock hard when its heated up and left to cool down, failing that a dab of that chemical metal might do as a temp repair.

I spoke to him too and he said that he had pulled out a few bike lengths on John McGuiness and the rear trye let go , he was looking at a 130mph lap at that point too doh........................ [whistle]


Seriously though, I'm glad to hear that it's nothing terrible as it could so easily have been much worse for sure, he'll soon be back up and running and hooning around for sure  :icon_thumright:

Hey Glenn, those road rashed leathers and done on the IOM bit are great for the pub talk and a few free beers    [whistle]  :occasion14:

Again like Jon says it looks like a flight home early and then back to collect it in a couple of weeks  :icon_thumright:
