Unfortunately Tom Donoghue, (Kawasaki Versys 650 and husband of Alison), yesterday became the Crash Club's newest member due to some dosey woman being unable to keep her Range Rover on the correct side of the road in some remote part of Staffordshire, which resulted in Tom being carted off to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire by helicopter.

Thankfully Tom's injuries weren't too bad, although he has broken one of his legs in 2 places and will probably be having an operation today to pin the leg. He's also quite proud that he managed to cause some damage to the Range Rover.

Looks like all those bacon butty stops on the ride-outs came in useful!!

I'm sure you'd all like to join me in conveying best wishes to both Tom and his family and hope for his speedy recovery.

PS. Old joke from Oz of Auf Weidersehen Pet - ” What's the difference between an hedgehog and a Range Rover?”

“The hedgehog has the pricks on the outside!”    Nuff said!! 

I spoke to Alison on Weds and she said that Tom isn't going back to either of the 2 places he broke his leg in and that he's going to be plastered for the next 8 weeks !!
