Skippy V ST1300

A work colleague had a coming together with Skippy at 110kmh  just outside of Coober Pedy yesterday, thankfully other than bruises he is OK. same cant be said for the ST or Skippy

Good to hear he's ok.
Looks like the bike might be repairable?

Skip and bike both gone. rider relatively ok .

A good case for clearing the road side much wider would also save a lot of damage to cars.

There's not much to clear up there


An update on David the rider, came back to work about 2 weeks ago when his annual leave finished, Tuesday this week he started feeling really ill and was still in a lot of pain around the "cracked ribs"

When he was checked at Coober Pedy hospital apparently so long as he could wiggle his toes and fingers he was all good and discharged.

Scans Tuesday afternoon have revealed broken rids and a ruptured spleen, he's back off work again and this time receiving proper treatment until everything has healed properly

Sounds quite typical of our hospital system. Get 'em in, get 'em out! When I had my accident Frankston Hospital was the same.
Royal Melbourne was much better with Kim. She was checked and rechecked with MRI and weeks later CAT

I hope your workmate receives better treatment and recovers quickly. What is your "TAC" like over there?
