Duane asked me to let you all know that he had an off at the Spur today. He was taken to Maroondah Hospital and after some Morphine and x-rays he was found to have nothing broken. Looks like his right leg will be oversize, colouful and painful for a while though.
I'm told that he was T-boned by an excel which was on his side of the road. Corrie was riding with Duane but didn't see the smack nor was he involved.
Status:
Duane: Sore, bruised, swollen and sorry for himself.
Bike: From all reports, farked.
Duane will be discharged this evening and will go home on crutches.
Thanks to Corrie for the help and KB for the support.
Will keep you informed.

Yeh I know what you mean, If i'd gone along instead of working on these f'ing assignments we'd have been at least 20 k's closer to the start point

Thanks for passing on the info Ron. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery and his dry wit hasn't been damaged too much.
