OzSTOC Team is on the case.

Plans are in motion to collect the bike for safe keeping, and to see to Gadget when we find out where he turns up and see to his repatriation.

Gadget,

My mobile is 0417922187 should you need it.

Earliest reports are that Gadget may have a had a car turn in front of him and has collided with it.

Garry is injured, but injuries are not life threatening.

Bike may be a write off at this stage, and Gary is being transported to (I think), Narrabri Hospital for care and observations.

Chris and Pockey are in transit back from Balranald at the moment, but may be able to shed some further light on the subject for us all once they are settled back home.

In the mean time - we'd all, I'm sure, like to wish Gary a speedy recovery, and hope that all goes as well as possible in the meantime.

Been in an accident at Bellata bijes a right of. Broken left hand

Gary, you need to call Dezohn at your earliest convenience. She has had a call from the police advising you are in Narrabri Hospital and that you're injured, but nothing else.

I've just spoken to her and given instructions how to look at this thread on the forum and told her that Team OzSTOC is onto it.

Hope it's nothing too bad. Hurry up and heal!

Hi Gary I hope you are on the mend soon. Just got back into Adelaide and saw the posts. Not the ideal way to finish your trip. There are better ways to find that missing 13 ml socket! Steve. (Richo)

Spoke with Gary's wife this afternoon. Anyone who contacts him should tell him to ring home. NOW. His mobile rings out.

Spoke with Moree Police as Narrabri was out. They have spoken with the lead officer who believes that Gary is in Narrabri Hospital. Hospital won't admit he is there. Normal privacy rules I guess.

Thanks also to STeveo who is monitoring

I will let Gadget bring you all up to speed on the incident and his injuries "if" he chooses too......

Thanks to Chris for keeping us up to date as possible to Gary's situation, and to Honk for looking after his bike. This is a terribly disappointing end to a great weekend at Balranald, and has really dampened the celebration.
Gary, know that Chris, Marcelo and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Gary musn't have been getting enough readers of his thread an decided to spice it up a little - eh mate?

Might have to talk to Brock about changing its name to ... Gadget's Big Ride (4 States and a Territory & an ambulance).

Gadget is expecting to be transferred to Tamworth Base Hospital now that he is stabilised folks. The driver of the other vehicle was a gent in his 90s, so thoughts and well wishes with him too.

There may be updates from Gadget himself when possible too.

Not moving tonight, 1st thing on the morning.

Gary,
Theresa and I are sitting in our motel room in Hay finding it hard to comprehend the end to your day.
Are thoughts are with you.

Gary.....what have you done.....didn't you see the boat?....boat?......what boat????? (From an RACQ ad)

Glad to hear you are not as damaged as your bike, hope you have a speedy recovery, if you need anything give us a yell, take it easy mate

Gadget · « **Reply #195 on:** September 20, 2015, 09:32:09 PM »

I did it for the glamor ware.

richo · « **Reply #196 on:** September 20, 2015, 09:38:29 PM »

Not sure how well your new fashions will go when your back on two wheels, a bit to drafty at the back for my liking and you would scare the hell out of any one following if you stand up on the pegs. Seriously though it is good to see you are in one piece.

Get well soon.
