Rider Down

[9zero]

Just heard on the radio no further details at this stage, hope everyone is ok

update: cnr dundas rd

[redxz]

Just got back from the scene (Abernethy and Daddow Rd)

rider not in a real good way, but still conscious although head wounds and possible internal injuries. He was whisked away in the ambulance but a good sign that he was still talking to them as they loaded him in.
bike (GS1100,with panniers and 'crash bars&#39 probably salvagable - front end and fairing f**d, but these bikes are pretty well bullet proof so...
Car, as usual, minimal damage - front drivers side wheel slightly out of whack tho
driver - shaken up but ok (like you lot care anyway <_< )

Should hear more about rider in a few days - hopefully all good

[Goofy]

Shit, get better dude.

[Kassper]

Hope you are ok Mr GS1100

As we don&#39;t know the story or who was at fault...
I hope BOTH are doing okay.

It isn&#39;t all about the physical. Emotionally things like this hit hard - that&#39;s what I was referring to when I said I hope they are ok.

Obviously the rider is of greatest concern due to his injuries but I feel for both of them.

oh ok now i get it, well yes hope they arent goin mental or anything


sorry i&#39;m a typical male so emotional issues arent my forte&#39;

[redxz]

spoke to the driver personally, and while he was quite shaken, he too was quite concerned for the rider.
It was not my intention to dismiss the car drivers injuries (physical or emotional).
I was just getting in with a light hearted jibe before anyone else started ragging on the &#39;cager&#39; for taking out another bike. Having read many posts on here, the welfare of the car driver is rarely asked after. (hmm, hope that sounds how I mean it to)
sorry if I offended any one

I realise that you weren&#39;t having a go.
*Ice looks around* Noone offended here!
I was just trying to make the point that we shouldn&#39;t assume it was the car&#39;s fault before anyone started in with the &#39;damned cager&#39; comments!
