I'm glad to hear that everyone involved is on the mend

If a collection is started, I'd like to contribute, especially as they looked after our KSRC family

Thanks for the updates and glad to hear all are on the mend. The collection idea is great and I think you should open it up to all KSRC members as I'd be happy to chip in to. Sounds like the guys do a great job and looked after our fellow members in a bad situation.

I believe the blanket belongs to the young girl (A nurse I belive) who was helping out. I asked her about it once ppl were sorted and she said not to worry she didn't want it back, she was just happy to help...
She was really helpful and I'd luv to find her to thank her again and get her some flowers or something, unlike a most of the other motorists who didn't even get out of there car to help or offer stuff like fire extinguishers.. which they had.!

Thanks MadKaw

She really was a Gem. I'd say one of the kits belonged to her.

The Group Captain from Bush Fire Service said the Cops were no help in this either. But what's new.

Pabs friend was assisting her so i'll ask him as well.

Once everyone is back on deck, i think a Drink is in order.

Glad to hear that all are on the mend and I sincerely encourgae all to take it easy in the recovery process and follow all advice of the Doctrors, Physios etc.

As for the collection, that is an excellent idea whether it be in the form of donations or 'fees' for rides that are then handed to the Brigade captain as a thank you.

As for identifying those motorists that assisted the police may have their details and may pass them on (I say this because I assisted at an accident and my details were given to one of the injured who contacted me later). If any are identified a quick thank you card works wonders and I have no doubt that it would be no problem obtaining them as well.

Any way, count me in.

If you know who the people that provided the first aid kits and blankets were, i'd appreciate it so i can give them back and the to the people who were on the ride, I'd like to take up a collection and donate it to the Bulger Volunteer Bushfire Brigade who show up almost every weekend i'm informed, to clean up when a motorcyclist drops a bike on the Putty Road.

Guys, this is my first post since the incident, I'm overwhelmed by everyones concern after the accident, you are and always will be a dead set bunch of top guys and girls and a small group of people that would be hard to meet in any lifetime, for this I do thank God.

The way in which everyone rallied around at the crash site was fantastic, the only people that saved people were the people that got off bikes, or picked themselves off the floor and thought in an instant we've got to help..........

Things were bad as it was, if it hadn't been for the friendship and need I say, comerardary(hope I spelt that properly) things could have been a lot worse.

Do not believe anything you read in papers, yes there was a 35 year old male, who lost control on a bend but there were no 'car drivers pulling bodies out of the inferno'

I won't go into details because I don't think an open forum is a suitable place and we all agreed this after the acco, but if it hadn't been for us, injured quick thinking BIKERS, guys like Ty, Dave and Hoffy could have been a lot worse, WE helped our fellow BIKERS out initially.

Great thanx goes to the bloke down the road who didn't blink to allow the 000 call to be sent from his place and then come and assist, thanx to all the ladies that exited their vehicles as they stopped in the line of traffic to help administer first aid, especially the wonderful nurse that bandaged Hoffys leg and made Ty and Dave comfortable.

I'm pretty sure the ambo's took a good 45 mins to turn up, which is understandable where the acco happened, when they arrived they were fantastic.

As Dave said, a big thanx to the local bushies, they did a superb job of controlling the burning bike situation and were there if anyone needed assistance.

A big thanx to MadKaw for his help and the lift home from Jus(legends) and to Glen, who for no fault of his own had to pillion a 100 kg injured pom on the back of his 05 10 back past the Halfway House until we met Justine, how many times did that suspension bottom out....Cheers mate

As for the guys that got caught up in the acco, I really hope you mend up soon, I've spoke to a couple of ya and ya seem in good spirit, I wanna get up to see Ty next week sometime , so if someone can Pm me details I would appreciate it, I know how ya feel in the pain area, my right leg is pretty farked up. You are a bunch o top blokes and it really cuts me that this happened, thank God everyone came through.

In time I will post a ride report, but obviously at this moment in time it probably wouldn't be suitable, when we are all mended and what has happened has passed, I suggest we get a large quantity of alchohol and a big table and sit and drink ourselves silly over the fact that we are are still here.

Luv you guys, (as I've said in Pms- a manly way

)

Damon.

Good to hear from you Damon... Check the rides & get together thread, Mia and Myself are planning a BBQ down the track, good chance for the piss up you mentioned

Take it easy champ

UPDATE:

Ty has been up and about a bit more over the weekend and is feeling tons better. He looks deadset horn in his hospital gown and the nurses have commented on how pert his buttocks are. It's down to Ty and Brett for the winner of the Naughty Nurses Tour, I think - Dave definitely didn't get anywhere and I think Hoffy's family ran interference and handicapped his chances.

Dave or myself will post an update when he's moved to the local hospital and ready for visitors. He's looking forward to seeing a few friendly faces soon. If you visit: Don't tell him I told you about his pert buns!

Pics, or it didn't happen. My god, did I just type that?

Damon, it's good to see you're back online and part of the "real" world again! Don't feel any pressure to knock out a report on what happened mate. It's all about the recovery.
