husband got hurt out the stables tonight

How dare you all jump to the conclusion it was the BIKES fault - typical the pts brigade are out.. it makes me so mad.... have the vet checked him/her over, get his/her back, teeth, and saddle checked book it in for some re-hab with Rossi (wonderful motorbike rider for anyone that does not know), and fgs take the rubber of the tyres.... shoving rubber on perfectly good wheels really annoys me- or at the very least turn the bike away till the spring.... is it a mare or gelding, pray its not a stallion.... have you thought about oss stress - did the fireworks set the bike off.

And anyway - why was he not on a lead rein ? ,
 
Really gingerwitch..which part of the post did you not get. :mad::mad:It's only a matter of time before another adult thinks they are child enough to ride this bike and I can't bear to think of what the consequences might be. PTS I say:D:D
 
Does he perhaps weigh too much for the bike?? They can only take a maximum of 20% of their weight.

Maybe a picture of him on the bike, so we can all stand in judgement..........

Unless of course he rides light :p

Get him fitted for a body protector, & some polite reflectives. Look up your local bike club & take him to rallies.
As for the bike, scope for ulcers & get some random unqualified person to check its frame & do a massage. Then pts. Any order will do.
Your own fault op, I bet the bike has a standard, cheap set of handle bars? You need neue schule ones, & lots of sheepskin. Make sure in future oh wears ariats & pikeur breeches. If his kit is expensive, you can be sure any fault lies with the bike.
 
:D :D

The bike might have unbalanced wheels - Have you tried taking it's tyres off? Bikes are so much better behaved if they go naturally barewheeled.

You can get more info from the Barewheeled Taliban :D
 
pmsl, poor hubby dumpling:D:D

reminds me of the time when friends OH decided to ride his sons bike after a few ciders, put both feet on pedals but forgot to actually pedal and just slowly fell sideways and splatted:D:D
