I'm not the type and so won't ask for prayers, but think in your own way please. It was on the news round here this morning about a HD rider who'd been hit by a tw@t driving the wrong way on the motorway (like an interstate for those over the pond). BBC page I got home from work and was intending on going straight to bed (getting a stinking cold...) but something made me stitch the puter on. I got an email from Western Region MAG: Quote:
Hi All
Not the kind of news I like passing on but, Dawn one of Bristol MAG's
members has had a really bad RTA, and is in Frenchay Hospital, with life
threatening injuries.
[snip out local details]
It appears dawn was travelling to Chepstow on her White Harley when some
complete ba****d came up the motorway the wrong way and smashed into dawn.
Lets hope they through the b*****d in jail and loose the key.
Lets hope all our best wishes help Dawn on the road to recovery.
Bike Safe
The Troll
The Troll writes the WRMAG website and newsletters.
Despite her riding an HD she's a really nice person and did lots for MAG round here and always took the time to say hi to everyone at MAG meetings.
another local news page just read some of the added comments.
It's also the Bristol Bike show this weekend - she'll have had some organising role in it so it won't be the same and the mood will be somber.
My thoughts go out to her and hers and just to remind you all to ride safe.

All I can say is wow!
first...thoughts and prayers for her and her family!

Nothing wrong with most HD riders, I hate to hear these things. 2 high school kids were just killed in a similar manner here yesterday but in a car and a friend of our daughter in in a coma from the same accident. Our best wishes to Dawns recovery.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Any down biker is somone to pray for Gina.Race,Sex,religion or brand of bike means nothing,,shes a down rider.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

How can you go the wrong way down the motorway!!?? He has been released on bail!!??  I would present him to the Bristol Rally then justice would be done and all expenses spared. Hope Dawn recovers soon - sounds like a very committed member of the biking community - hope he hasn't taken that away from her! I am sure all who know her will offer support - keep safe Gina.

Hmmm, 11:40 PM, what's an old codger doing out that late anyway except maybe getting drunk? They should make getting a driving license the same as a pilots license.

Gina, I don't do God, but have nothing against those who do. A prayer or too can't hurt at this difficult time can it. Thinking of you and your friend and hoping everthing turns out OK. Be positive and I'm sure it will.
All The best from me and the family. Hate to here of another Biker down, no matter what their prefered ride.
