News just coming in that our friend Cliff(Pop Pops) has had an accident on his motorbike with a samlor, about an hour ago. Details are sketchy but he has ben taken to Wattana hospital for X rays etc.His wife said he has hurt all down the left side of his body.I can't get in from out here in the village but if anyone in town can get further details I would be grateful to hear. Val

I too hope someone reports soon.

\Get Well Cliff and hope all goes well.

Heres hoping nothing serious!!

Cliff is still alive and with us. possible dislocated shoulder. x-rayed, still at hosp, waiting for doc to get done playing golf. road the yank scooter home, which bouces better than him, then realized, ouch, this hurts. don't think he'll be staying over night, Rito there to keep him company for now.

LA pretty much said it all, Dr will be in about 5ish to give an evaluation. In the mean time Cliff is layed up watching the Gladiator on TV. He's in room 6008 in case anyone wants to pop in for a chat. I'll be around again this evening and update after my visit.

Sorry to hear of your accident accident Cliff, hope your injury is not too bad, and your soon up and running, hope the shoulder injury is not your drinking side

All the best Ralph & Nom.

Thanks for the update guys let us know if need help with annthing please.

Get well soon, brother Cliff!

Sorry to hear about your problems Cliff. As you know now (if not before) us m/c riders need to stay especially vigilant when on the road. Get well soon.

Cliff I am sorry to read about your accident I am living out of town but I promise I will come in to visit you either at the hospital or your shop you take care my friend and get well real quick

Just back from visiting the old boy. Seems cheerful enough. His ever devoted wife Erai is at his side to take care of the nurses His only injuries are a dislocated left shoulder and a few road burns on both arms. Was still waiting further instructions from the Dr when I left, but doesn't look like a long stay.
He had a few choice words to say about samlor drivers. This one was collecting scrap.He thanks everyone for their good wishes and the numerous phone calls he has had.

Well I'm glad the injuries are limited but pain is no fun. It doesn't really seem to mater much if your on a big bike or small one, things still happen. Sometimes being defensive in riding just is not enough.

Thanks for the update, doesn't sound like he needs anything if he does let us know. I have no intention of going and giving him the flu bug as well. I'll stop be the shop in a few days.

Then he can cuss samlor drivers and I can cuss dog owners that let their dogs run on the roads

Went back for another visit, looks like he'll be spending the night. The doc recommended surgery to repair ligament damage and gave Cliff the option, should know more tomorrow.

Gents, I'm not over there to lend a hand but IMHO, I think caution before surgery and a second opinion couldn't hurt,,,,, What say the rest of you "on the scene" gents. Here's wishing a quick recovery Pops.

LL he's aware of it and will give the doc his answer tomorrow.
