TMBill injured at Connondale!!

[vandy010]

not too good there Bill, get welll soon champ!
although, most stories i've heard about Nambour hospital? they go in, but they never come out.......

I was typing a bit of a story for you blokes when Bills Dad posted; so priorities first!
Anyhoos, I type slow so I don't want to waste the bit I had tapped out:

Jeez news travels fast! I've just got in the door from Connondale and you blokes have already pumped out a zillion tributes.
Yep, it's an unfortunate story but in true Bill fashion he's turned a painful incident into quite a laugh; believe it or not.
When Bill left for the Hospital in the back of the Ambulance - with DJ driving (someone else can tell that story) it was believed to be a broken leg.

Can I tell you something about Bill? He's consistent!
He's a funny bugger on the forum, he's a funny bugger in person and he's a real funny bugger when he's lying next to his bike with a painful (most likely broken) leg.
Everyone who was there with Bill can tell you he's a crack up even in the throes of pain.
As bad as it was, with Bill sucking some magic anaesthetic from a green tube and a morphine shot in the arm, he kept on trotting out the one liners.
He even found a moment to sing the chorus line from the old Police classic, 'Roxanne'.
He's lying there with three or four Ambos attending, maybe another four or five Riders and onlookers and rising out of the scene is "ROXXXX-AAAANNE!!!" at full noise!
I can't remember ever laughing so hard at the scene of a motorcycle accident! and I mean that with all respect to Bill.
The Ambos are asking the serious questions and Bill's firing back with pure comedy!

That was the scene at the track this morning.
He now sounds his normal self on the phone and he's happy with his treatment.
DJ is with him - and plenty of us live in the greater Brisbane area and are happy to help in any way.  
Be assured TM Bill is held in high regard within the VMX community - despite being both a Pom and a Kiwi!
He's now got more personal mobile numbers and offers of help than he'll know what to do with.

All the best Bill. I passed on your predicament to all of the Kevlar brothers this evening and we all pass on our regards and best wishes.

This thread disturbs me on many levels.
Firstly because I've been altered to the fact that Bill has a mother - I'd been assuming that he simply sprung from the earth, like something from a Tolkien story.
Secondly, because he's probably going to spend at lot more time at the PC, and will (further) lower the tone of these forums.
Finally, because its never cool when people get hurt, particularly fellow VMXers, and extra-particularly those that are good blokes like Bill.

I'm sure Bill will recover just fine(Dr death is in custody), just Nambour Hospital will have the scars though, geez Bill just think of all those undesirable loan defaulters who get to keep their clapped out car for a few months with out you repossesing them
Remember chicks dig scars.
Cheers

As he was laying  on the track all he wanted to do was get the bike and him out of the way so he wouldn't stuff up our day by having to restart the race. Best off luck Bill hope you have a speedy recovery. Darcy
P.s. I was a couple of bikes back when he hit the dirt and it didn't look good 

[bazza]

Have seen TM bill legless but not with broken leg,all the best from  from kiwi klub kevlar get well the suzuki you broke is fixed and waiting for you

[Doc]

Sorry Mr Bill Doe senior. I had thought when I posted this initially that it would cause a little concern to his immediate family and friends but I had no way of contacting anyone to get further contact info. I had actually been told it was a bad break but I ommitted that bit initially so as no to cause further stress. Bill get better soon mate and don't worry, I disagree with Vandy for the simple reason my Mum went into Nambour Hospital about 45 years and came out with me. I was born there!

Hope every things goes alright,
We had a broken leg  in Canberra as well during practice on Sat, and
its a bit sobering when you realise you have to get someone else to drive home after the meeting,
speedy recovery guys.
Cheers
Noel

I know we all wish Bill a speedy recovery, but spare a thought for the poor nurses that have to look after him. I bet they will get more than they bargained for on their next few shifts. If he is not careful it could be bed baths from the Matron with a cold spoon!!!

Keep it up Bill the forum is behind you.
