Update on Gordons progess.....
After me refusing to take him a pair of crutches to facilitate his escape from the ward.... he sulked so badly I was forced to return later with the crutches! He got as far as the ward door.... thought better of it and returned to his bed!!! :-)
He should be out today. Bets on where he wants to go 1st.... Forza Italia or the pub!!

Gordon Parker I pushed the final mtrs and pushed like hell from 8.30 for release papers, managed to get over the wall at 2pm, Ross was waiting in the forest with the BM and we made a hasty getaway. Went and visited the crash scene on the way back and was nearly sick, I know know why I did not see him till the last moment as he was hiding behind the phone shop in Jack's cafe and came out from behind were most people turn left there is a filter lane, he decided to turn right and pulled out less than 20 mtrs infront of me, oh s*it ( will go up later and take some measurements) I had not chance, I knew at the time I was very very lucky but going back even more so.
Collapsed last night due to very little sleep and being kept awake by inconsidetate night nursing staff who would take till nearly midnight before giving me my infusion / painkillers and switching the lights off, Ross is far better and as I type is preparing a full english !
Off to locate some wheels today and as you can see feeling much better for escaping and being home.
Thanks to all who called/texted sorry if I did not reply but they kept telling me off for using the phone.
After only 3 days in hosp I can assure you all the horror stories of the NHS are true but they do have some very good staff who really do care, it's just a shame that they cannot show their true potential due to the system, I could go on but brekkers is ready.
Ambulance was there just as I had crawled to the kerb !!

Many thanks to Alpinestars, Arai and sidi, without them I would have been in a very sorry state
Off to find some wheels later

The bike is a write off but we have a cunning plan, will post some pics later

Glad to read you are out of hospital, mate - GWS.

Sorry to hear about your bike though but it sounds like you have a nice plan to keep you motivated?!?

I guess it might be sometime before you can venture up to the Northern wastelands again?

Take care - Frank

Glad you're on the mend fella, your story is one of the reasons I sold my Mille and came to the DSC racing.
I'll keep hold of your chocolate digestives till you can get to a meeting.

It's already been booked into the Krankenhaus in Munich, Thomas is keen to rebuild his project.

Anybody with a van fancy a trip to Munchen in the next few weeks ?

Good food, hospitality and the best weekend you have ever had guarenteed, here is a pic of one of the staff who built it , just a slight incentive
