Guys Blakey (Steve) one my mates and a forum member has been hospitalised today.. After test riding a new Daytona 675R he left the shop in Maidstone went a few hundreded meters down the road and a car decided to pull across him. Fortunately he was only going slowly as it was after a bend but it was too late.... He apparently went through the windscreen and has broken his Tibia & fibia is in a bad way with a few other injuries but will survive.... His bike is in a bad way and as I know more I will update... Thoughts are with him
Your not wrong.. Very sobering... I think he is even contemplating his own vulnerability and if he gets rid of the bike......
Bit of an update.. After a CT scan it seems he has broken his leg in 7 places..... Operating on Monday staying in hospital till Thursday minimum....
He is I think 45... Spoke to my matevwhowas behind him and he has visited him today... He is ok but they have now mentioned they may not operate till 2-3 weeks time......give his leg time to settle down before they plate it.... I think he just wants to know what's going on......
I hate to hear things like this, please pass on my best wishes - it certainly makes you more aware of whats important and whats not...
