Anybody know any details?

As far as I am aware, he had an altercation with a campervan on his way to Oulton Park yesterday morning . The last I heard was that he is in Northampton General with a broken ankle but in good spirits.

Just lifted this from the Ducatisti sight, posted by Karen (DucatiGirl)


UPDATE!!!!

Gordon P has just rung me from his hospital bed - he's in Northampton hospital - I did mention I would post this........

He is still waiting for an mri scan on his ankle - he is in excellent spirits and was telling me stories about the man in the next hospital bed who apparently saved the Lancaster bomber from a fate worse than death, that you all went to see today.

He is not impressed with the level of attractiveness of the nurses there and refers to the main one looking after him as the one from "Gorillas in the mist".

It would seem he has had a very lucky escape, he did at one point on seeing the motor home think he could be the next wardrobe monster

Lets hope he is let loose on the community soon, hugs Gordon x

Hello!! This is Ross ... Gordons brother. Yes he is in Northampton General Colling Tree Ward with a couple of lower leg fractures. He is in good spirits as a cutie nurse has come on duty this morning!! He is hoping to be discharged Monday and may well make it to Lucies funeral. Personally I cant see it but it must be the halluconagenic drugs they keep giving him!! :-) Appetite is fine as he is demanding I take him some BBQ ribs after Moto GP.....

Thanks for the update Ross.

Please pass on our best wishes for his recovery.

Telling him to keep his hands to himself I guess would be a pointless exercise

Thanks again - Frank

Blimey...The bloke is on the MT and they still get the news on the other channel first

Bad news Gordon, hopefully you'll mend quick and not need too many bed baths..although maybe you'd prefer to heal slow under those circumstances.

Shame about the bike, but it's only metal
