The really good news is that Brian can wiggle his toes! I got a little emotional when I saw this, while of course Brian is not getting too optimistic, it really is a good sign, and although he's still got months of rehab ahead of him, I reckon our prayers are working, and he's gonna come out of this OK.

That's the best fcuking news!!! Best wishes, Bear...

G'day Fella's.

Had a blast at PI it was great to meet Peter and It's always good to have a yak with Terry.
Hope the the Trumpy doesn't give ya to much heartache Tez.
Godzilla dragged me out to the back of the pits for a super intensive pyisio session and low and behold I managed to move my feet under my own power!
Do not under estimate the power of the lizard. ;)

Cheer,
Brian

That is great news mate, and we're all gonna keep battin' for ya.

GZ has travelled about 1/2 way around the globe for a visit and the timing couldn't have been any better.  8)

Thanks Terry and Pete for your input to make this happen yesterday, the good ol' fashioned Aussie way.

When your mate gets round to posting picture, tell him to post them in the tour thread as well, Mick will probably start an Ausie tour section for reports.

Just keep him away from any Middle Eastern "Tourists" wearing their backpacks under their coats Sammy!  :o  ;)
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I have to confess to not very often reading this section of the forum, and often skip some threads in other areas all together, so, embarrasingly, until I met Terry on Sunday I didn't know about what had happened to Brian. So thanks Terry for filling me in before we went off in search of the man!
Brian - it was an honour to meet you mate and I truly hope that your progress continues and that next time we meet you are getting back to your old self. It's great to see you out and about and taking an interest in the racing and obviously still enjoying it - seeing you laugh and surrounded by supportive mates and scooting about in the chair was an inspiration. I mean that sincerely.
I will be sending positive vibes to you mate and look forward to seeing you again in the not too distant future.
Keep on keeping on mate.
Peter.

This morning I was REALLY touched by a PM I got from a member.
He wanted the Paypal details so he could make a donation.
He would have made it sooner but had to wait for his PAY CHEQUE to go into his bank.

That's great news Brian!!!  Keep up the hard work and keep that positive attitude flowing. Nerves take quite a bit of time to grow back so don't give up on them.
