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.

Yep, best wishes Oddkid and fingers crossed for a quick recovery.

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.

Any news on Oddkid? Bike sorted yet? not seen him about thats all?

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.
