Yesterday while I was at the hospital visiting my better half, I bumped into Oddkid's girlfriend Steph and a couple of others from the Coventry bikers forum.
It seems that Oddkid (Matt) was out riding yesterday and failed to negotiate a roundabout and went down.
I'm not sure how he is but apparently he was talking to the emergency services that attended.
I saw some post-accident pictures of his Mille - it seems to have suffered minimal damage - hopefully the same is true of Matt.
Heal up quickly

Please pass on my best wishes, if you see him or Steph, for a speedy recovery, and my hopes that his injuries are minimal.

I've just had a brief MSN chat with Will who tells me that Matt has suffered a few bumps and bruises and has been released from hospital into the big wide world.
I'm sure the bruises etc hurt but glad to hear it's no worse.

UPDATE:
I've just spoken to Will again.
Oddkid can't remember the accident as he was knocked out cold and is bruised all down one side. Painful but nothing broken.
His bike is a little worse than first thought. The biggest issue being a buckled front wheel.
So, if anyone has a spare Brembo front wheel for Mille / Falco that they are trying to flog, then Oddkid is your man (or let Will or me know)
I have a spare one that I can lend to tide him over but don't want to sell it - so if anyone has one to sell .....

Glad it was the bike buckled rather than him.

He's been about on Facebook. Don't think he's healed up yet as I know he has been having trouble meeting his rent on the benefits he can claim while off sick. Don't think things are great for him at the moment - Will may know more.
