Bandit down
Just wanted to let you all know that my brother (sloth_27) had an accident on his bandit yesturday afternoon.
He went for a ride up to newcastle. On the way back we crashed his bike not far after berowra ferry, heading towards penrith. He doesnt remember 10 minutes before the accident, so he has no idea of what happened.
The bike may be a write off. We has airlifted out. He ended up with 3 broken ribs, callapsed lung and fractured shoulder blade. He is doing ok now. Should be out of hospital next week.

Re: Bandit down
Thanks guys. I will pass it all on.
Got the bike home today. Had a good look over it. Forks snapped, but may be a good thing. Looks like the steering head isnt damaged. Landed on the left side, so the new yoshi pipe didnt get a scratch.
Bike may just be out on the road again soon.
Also good news, matt said it wont stop him from riding.

Sorry to hear of your brothers accident, Wish him all the best, and a speedy recovery!
I saw Matt riding out on the day (whilst working) and thought " You lucky Bugger" Didn't end so well though.

Re: Bandit down
We haven't heard anything for a while, so I'm just wondering how Matt is doing, is he likely to get out on a ride anytime soon?
Also how is the Bandit resurrection coming?
