Bateleur1 Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Sorry om the hoor EWEP. Hoop jy kom gou weer reg. Net so jammer om te hoor van die fiets.
Jaco Steyn Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Ewep, ek kan dit nie glo nie! Ek het nou net die thread gelees oor jou Colnago, en nou dit En aan die @#$%& wat jou "nie gesien het nie", mag die vlooie van 'n 1000 kamele jou kn@ters ifesteer, en jou fingers dan in vishoeke verander! Ek hoop jy kom gou reg, maar iets soos jou Colnago is eintlik onvervangbaar. steynja2008-03-05 13:59:14
hagar Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 agggg no man that not good . Speedy recovery mate and all is 100% very soon !!!!!
ewep Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Hi guys and gals. Sjeez, I feel like I was hit by a car !! Thank you for all the well wishes. I don't think you know how it lifts the spirits after something like this. The story: Was commuting home. All went well (I was even complimented on my road manners by a motorist). Then, at the Engen garage on Club rd this lady "doesn't see me". Was doing about 30-35km/h at that stage, braked as hard as I could but still hit the car. Car damages are quite extensive (as the ER nurse said, "you're NOT small!"), but to me it's a SAD day (Delgado, mate, nearly lost it in the X-Ray room!). I have been waiting for 6 years for a Titanio to pop up, and then R2D2 decides to entrust his baby to me. Now, well, I'll have to look, but that bike is irreplaceable! Now for the thank you's. Number 1, the sister, THANK YOU, you know why. Number 2 Delgado and Mrs. Delgado. Dude, thanks (even when hurting yourself) for fetching my bike and then coming to sit with the sister. I think the sister and I were much more relaxed after having a chance to chat! Then the paramedics and emergency doc (don't know the company name, but they are from the Jewish helping hand). THANK YOU. I'm going to organize a Hub ride to help these people. The help people in need (as they did for me) at NO CHARGE!!! The dude at the Engen garage on Club Str. You have my car's tank for the rest of my life. Thank you for helping. The staff at Linksfield that helped, THANKS. To CAP Security for being there first and helping, thank you. And then, today opened my eyes and made me realize that this country and its' people have a HUGE and BEAUTIFUL future. No one said "no he's white" or "no, he's an elitest *%&$head cyclist". Everyone tried to help. Guys from the street stormed closer to get me to stay still. A lady (I don't know her name now, but I will by tom morning at 8!!) phoned the sister. And no one was nasty or anything. They were just helping!!!! OK, so my rant is over. Once again thank you for the well wishes! I'm going to sit and cry (the adrenaline is gone now!) about my bike a bit (or is it from the ouch) and then go to bed.
hagar Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 sleep tight mate all the best for a speedy recovery !!!! Its good to know that help is close by when you need it.
Sammajoor Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Etienne ek en jy het nog gister ge rant en rave oor die Argus nou gaan ek rant en rave oor motoriste ek het laas jaar ook so ondervinding gehad met 'n motoris maar die bliksem het my fisies van die pad afgedruk. My fiets ook ge panelbeat. MAAR niks soos joune nie en ek weet hoe seer ek gehad het Mag jy vinnig gesond word en jou roasties so mooi toegroei dat 'n mens nie eers kan sien nie. Oor jou fiets gaan ek nie eers 'n woord probeer rep nie, die seer wat jy het oor die fiets is sekererger as die liggaamlike pyn. Ek weet hoe ek sou voel as iemand my Fondriest buig of is dit breek. Ek is bly jy en die suster het gesels, GMAil chat met my as jy op is. Sterkte tjomma as daar iets is gil of PM of Mail , ek is hier maar my vrou is in Pretoria soos as ek kan help laat weet. As jy vir eers 'n raam soek myne is by die huis, PRAAT NET met ons, ons as die hub is hier om te help, al lyk dit vir jou hoe klein of groot ons is 'n familie en ons kyk na mekaar. Sammajoor uit!!!
EdoardoBianchi Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Oi, EWEP, bad luck dude. Speedy recovery though!
Ox_Wagon Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Jammer om te hoor man, hoop jy word gou better. Nee man, nou het jy twee Taco-ed fietse...... Jy moet se as daar iets is waarme ons kan help.

tazman Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Sorry to hear about the incident (now that makes two hubbers, that we know of, that have t-boned a car where the driver that "did not see you"!!)At least no broken bones , get well soon mate.
E1A104 Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Ewep, You only got one thing wrong my friend. The bike is replaceable, you, on the other hand, are not!! Glad to hear that you are OK(ish) and although I understand your pain about the Titanio, that the Sister and your Daughter still have a husband and a father is the most important thing. R2D2. PS: I have a spare bike for you to use whenever you are ready to ride again.
