[cable tie]

Thx for the comments.

Update, been in touch today he is in ICU in reims sedated and on respirator, bruised left shoulder and chest, he needs to have chest drained due to build up of  blood in chest cavity!! and if all goes well they hope to do spinal op 2mo, i hope to god he pulls thro it ok as he is a really very nice fella and dont deserve this and not a spring chicken at 70 but is a very experienced rider and has travelled europe for over 20 years on bikes and just a couple of days before this he was riding the 500 thro the black forest with us.

[glow=red,2,300]Mike[/glow], your are correct single vehicle accident we was tramping on 70's just out of a left hander when he veared off to the right into the grass verge and into the deep gulley he showed no signs of trying to slow down !! and the bike went into a huge shake and than exploded as if it had hit something or he tried to pull the bike out the gulley !! he and the bike cartwheeled several times i was behind him on the rd and actually thought the bike was going to come back into the rd and take me out, it was horrid seeing a body thrown down the rd like a rag doll completely lifeless, and was out cold so at first we thought the worst, i cant stress how good the emergency services was the police - ambulance - doctors - paramedics - fire engine turned up very promptly, and for some reason the local french press turned up and took pics !!

Why did it happen not sure but we recon he lost concentration due to the fact if the pace gets too fast/much for him he drops back and than catches up later at his own pace .
