and for the last week we've been making lots of v-twin noise's around catalunya and Andorra.
sadly I have to announce that on Tuesday the 8th of sept, a good friend of ours was hurt in a serious accident.
CK.....chris kennedy
we had spent the previous night in Andorra, and we were travelling back to my house on some of the most glorious roads we have ever seen, when as chris entered a small tunnel that had a right hand bend in it, that tightened up without warning, chris had a head on collision with a 4x4 pick up.
the following moments those of us on the trip will never forget, thankfully monkeymatt had enough first aid training to make a massive difference.
chris was taken by ambulance to a hospital some 50kms from the crash site. we were all allowed to follow on our bikes.
we then spent several nervous hours waiting for information regarding chris's condition.
finally we received the news we'd all wanted to hear, chris was going to be ok.
I can't stress enough how lucky he was.
here is a picture of the car he collided with.

and here's a picture of what's left of the bike he was riding at the time of the accident. as some of you might notice, this isn't chris's bike, it's a friends bike, that he'd been riding for the previous 15 or so minutes. as you can see it's a total wreck.

it's hard to believe, but chris has managed to hobble away from this with a badly broken right wrist, a concussion and lots of bruises and soreness, not to mention a pair of swollen plums.
he has definitely used up one of his nine lives.
he was released from hospital this evening, and will be re-patriated to the uk tomorrow. where he will under go surgery on his wrist.
his wife imogen was not riding with him at the time of the accident (because of illness). she has been his rock since the accident, showing great courage.
I wish chris a safe trip home and speedy recovery
