Yer well One very lucky mate who has been released from Swan Districts with no broken bones just lots of bruising. WEAR THE RIGHT GEAR PEOPLE. I put his lack of injuries down to the dragin's, boots gloves helmet and jacket that he was wearing, only thing needs replacing will be the helmet AND MY POOR BUSA
What happened. Well we had a quiet ride out to Toodyay for some lunch and on the way back decided to go have a look at the Peter Brock crash site. We both agreed that there maybe coppa's on the road (double demerits etc) and were taking it real easy. Got to the site, spent a few mins looking over all the stuff there and when it came time to head home Mick suggested a bike swap for the trip home, so he took the Busa and I rode his blackbird. Heading back towards Toodyay road about 2 km from the last hairpin is a sweeping right hander with yellow sign indicating 50km/h approach speed suggested. We were not going that fast but Mick found a gumnut in the middle of the corner and the bike got all out of shape, he applied the brakes, bike stood up and ran off the road into the tree's with Mick being lucky enough (SIC) to do a great impersonation of superman and tumbled down the verge. Lots of moaning and groaning told me he was still alive, slapped him in the face and told him to harden the f*** up (Joke) But yer he was complaining of lower back pain and I decided to call the ambo's, he was all for getting up put me being the cautious bugger I am sat on him till they arrived (yet another joke). Mick got carted off to Swan Districts and I got the Busa trailered home thanks to members on Perthstreetbikes.com
They say a picture is worth a thousand words so here are a couple. Got some from the scene on the mobile, but gotta download them, when I find the data cable lol.
