    Just heard that Ian S. is in Hospital. Chris McArdle has posted over on Advrider. Here is what he wrote:/day allI have just heard from Ian Sowden's (Postie) wife Carol that Ian is in a Auckland hospitable with a broken right leg, snapped both the Tibula and Fibula. OUCH!!Happened last week end on the Great Barrier Island. He was travelling with a group of riders, all of them stopped except for one complete f***k wit who was f***king around showing off, and lost control of his bike and slamed into Ian's right leg.Ian had to edure excruciating pain for several hours while two of the party went looking for help, there was no mobile service where the collision occured.He was airvaced to Auckland.Heal quickly mate.

    True, but it's nice to a have a couple of mates who can go and get help. It must have been just outside of Telecom's 97% coverage of where New Zealanders work live and play, so no opportunity for an ad then.I hope there are no complications and that he will heal well.

    I know how he feels, I too broke both those bones, while riding my K100 back in September, I am still off work and will be for a wee while yet. My thoughts are with him. On the plus side, having all this time available to me and being semi mobile now, the bike is almost repaired, just waiting for a couple of parts ex UK to finish it off.
