It'll still be a long time before Brian will be dancing or playing lawn bowls (which is probably a good thing..........) so keep those donations and well wishes coming in, I know that Brian and Ev's finances are a bit tight at the moment, so the money that's already been donated, and any more that we can raise, will be much appreciated. Cheers, Terry. ;D

It was worth a try mate.  ;D

Just hope that Brian doesn't hurt too much from laughing when he sees this.  ;D  ;)

For sure mate, a laugh was the intention, not the pain...... Although, whats the old saying, no pain , no gain.... ;)

                      him ?    ::)   LOL !!    ;)  ;D ;D    Well maybe that picture of RETRO ROCKET that's floating around
                      on the web !!!    :o

Good evening everyone, this is Brian's daughter Jenna.

He has asked me to post some photos of the accident. Unfortunately I am a little out of my depth. I am going to attempt to post a link to his photo bucket account which should allow you to view them there.

fingers crossed!

It seems we race in places that may not be safest for motorcycles, because we can't help ourselves. That looks like a bad spot, then to get tangled up in that tire fence........

Its unbelievable that someone was right in that spot taking pictures, and I'm not sure I feel better for having seen them!

Be good to yourself Brian, get well.

It just seems the easier option RAF as lots of people use Paypal.

Sam. :-\
I don't use paypal, so it's difficult for me to transfer funds over-seas. 

David, good tip about the "gift" clause. The last time I looked into paypal, they charged a pound and a half of flesh for international transfers? Do you have a paypal account? If so, could I send you a check and have you transfer the funds?

Maybe someone can get in touch with Mrs. Bear, and see what would work best for them?

RAFster Dave, got Scotts donation, thanks for working together guys, you ROCK. 8) 8) 8)
