Some of you have met Lee on the Broken Hill run the other year. Well they were on there way back from a run and passing a few bikes by the side of the road and a bloke in a car pulled out. Lee locked up and dropped the bike at about 130k. he was trying to go the cars left hand side but the front wheel locked up and down they went. I think that saved him personally. If he had hit the car Tbone I trhink he would have been killed.
No jacket, no gloves, T shirt. jeans and Vest with and Openface helmet. Face has no marks but I have seen some pics of him and yeah looks sore..
He is alive, broken fingers, all the skin off both elbows and fore arms. Has a hole in his left arm down to the bone so maybe coming down to Adelaide tomorrow for an op to fix, ( They don't have the skills in Broken Hill)
*Note* don't have an accident in BH.
It could have been one of us laying in a hospital bed on that run back in 2013 AJ. Remember when that car came off the dirt road to our left and we all had to take evasive action. I hope your brother in-law gets on the mend soon. Hopefully will catch up with you on the 21st of Feb.
Wish Lee all the best from Me and Action please AJ .
Ouch! Regards and get well soon
k FYI it was a bike that came out in front of Lee doing a U Turn not a Car as I thought. He is at the RAH waiting for an OP to fix the hole in his arm and then skin grafts.... Hopefully has the Op today... I will drop in and see him after that...
The guy was charged with driving offences " doing an illegal uturn" The cops won't tell Lee who it was though. I would have thought for insurance purposes they would have to..His insurance company would be going after the guy, as well as medical expences.
NSW must be different..
I wish him a speedy and pain free recovery I got t boned by. 30kg roo on Tuesday morning broke both tibea and fibea managed to hold it up home now with a few tech screws and a rod down my leg
