GDBD59 - OFF **Now with some damage Pics**
 

GDBD59 has come off his Ducati this evening on his way to a Ducati meet a Knockhill.

Gary is currently at Queen Margarets Hospital in Dunfermline suffering from concussion a large lump round the right side of his head and a broken elbow.

He has no recollection of the accident at all. He only remembers waking up as he was being put in the ambulance.

As a result of this all the details are obviously very sketchy but he apparantly came off on the road to Knockhill somewhere between Kelty and the turn off to Knockhill.

I just came back from a trip up there with his wife to try and identify the spot and think we have found it but it is difficult to tell in the dark. Will pop up tomorrow to take some photos.

Now it is obvious that we don't know what really happened but there is a large raised patch of tarmac on an upward sweeping right hand bend just before what is fairly clear is the point where the bike came down and it looks like being a likely candidate.

What the ****. First me then Scooby Drew and now this. Come on SV Ecosse posse. No more please :cry:

Jeez, I hope he's comfortable as possible. A broken elbow sounds like a sore injury to carry.

You're right about us having a rough time just now. Maybe the sporadic bursts of good/pi$h weather increases the chances of it, I dunno. :?




Not that it really matters so much, but how much damage to the duke?

:shock: Oh :shock: Bugger :shock: Not :shock: Another :shock:

This is becoming a very bad habit. Please pass on the best wishes of both me and Quedos if you can. :(

Aint got a clue. Gary's wife just knows who it was recovered by. Will find out more in tomorrow hopefully.

Oh bugger :( . Hope this is the last.

All the best for a speedy recovery.

Ben

Speedy recovery and best wishes.

Bloody hell, not another. Any idea how long he'll be inside for?

Gary, when you read this the usual offer of help is there if you want a hand with the bike... Hope its in better condition than its pilot, and you heal up well and fast.

This is jogging a memory... Was it on the A823, (road that leads to knockhill) not long after you turn onto it? On the uphill bit? I took a hell of a kick off a bump- or something- on saturday coming up there... I thought I'd just caught pothole or a bad patch that I'd missed, but it was enough to seriously upset the bike. I'd totally forgotten about it, but I remember thinking that I was glad for the better suspension... Hope it wasn't the same place, I'd just written it off as one of those things and never even thought to look on sunday :( I know it didn't happen on sunday, though I was shifting a bit more then.

The hospital are saying 24-48 hours cos they are concerned about the bang to his head and the fact that he was out of it for so long. Im gonna pay him a visit tomorrow.

Scrabbling about in the dark tonight it would appear to have happened on the wee B914 stretch. The section of road after the Y junction when you come off the B915 but before you turn right onto the A823. There was a long series of recent scrape/rubber marks on the road that seemed to indicate the spot.

Ah, thanks for that... PM on teh way...

Not another member of the Ecosse Posse. :( Guys, please be careful out there!

Gary - best of luck and heal quickly.
