The motorcyclist injured in a crash with a car near Okoia on Thursday will need about three months to recover.
John Nottage will spend at least 10 days in hospital after police say he hit a car in an overtaking manoeuvre on No2 Line.
Brother David "Rabbit" Nottage said John Nottage had a back brace on and was having his shoulder x-rayed.
"He can't lift anything... can't even lift up his cellphone type of thing," he said.
He said John Nottage would need "at least three months of recovery, minimum to heal all the fractures".
