Default Scooby Drew - Off!

Just had a call from Drew who had an off today. He was on the back road from Gala to Lauder and apparently went into a lowsider after clipping the grass verge.

Some helpful folk lifted him back on and he rode the other 5-10 miles home at which point he decided it would be a good idea if his neighbour would give him a lift to the Borders General Hospital!

He's managed to break five ribs but other than a stiff shoulder that appears to be the full extent of the damage. His Kwak has some major fairing damage as well as the usual bits 'n' pieces of damage (bugs, etc.), but he's at least proven it's ride-able!!!

He's in good spirits, but that's probably because they're keeping him in overnight and it's an opportunity to chat up some nurses!

I'll post any updates as I get them.

Aaargh! Riding with broken ribs. Funny stuff adrenaline, you feel invincible when you clearly are not....
Wish him a speedy recovery from me.


Sounds like it's mainly cosmetics on the Ninja, thankfully.
