He's okay. Nothing life threatening, but a rather serious break to his leg.

Been a few hours worrying if he was okay, but news finally travelled down the family grape vine. Turns out, he was on his way to his girlfriend's house, and a cow walked out onto the road (he lives a fair bit away from the city, as you may have guessed). He didn't run right into it, but instead, sort of brushed against it.

So all of a sudden, he's got this massive pain in his leg, and he looks down. Halfway between his knee and his ankle, his leg is bent, so that his foot is almost at his knee. He's still on the bike, and he can't stop, 'cause if he does bring the bike to a stand still, he won't be able to get off without the bike falling on top of him (it's a pretty triumph, not sure what size, but it's a bloody heavy bike).

So he's got to ride the rest of the way to his girlfriend's house, but first, he turns to check on the cow, and it's gone. So obviously it didn't come off too badly. So he rides the rest of the way to his gf's house (6 kilometres) and she is out in the front yard, and he has to ride past about 3 or 4 times to tell her to get rotten (one of his mates) to help him stop the bike, and they manage to get him off.

So he's going to need surgery, and metal plates, and all that shit. Was pretty scary for a while when nobody knew what was going on. So yes, dramatic day.
