Thankyou to all the get well messages and thoughts from you all. I had taken the full blow of a branch sticking out from a tree towards opoho in twilight at approximately 20 to 30km/h it happened so suddenly i was bewilldered as to what had initially happened. A glance sideways in the poor light on a flat piece of beach , im so fortunate that it could have been so much worse. Ive travelled past that flamin tree soooo many times in the last couple of years, really annoyed at myself as i am more than competent on a quad bike. I can't turn back the clock so onwards and more careful from here. The quad was unharmed un fortunately its new rod time again. Any suggestions?. Cheers Kane
