Harsh realities of our obsession

I was going to spend the next couple of evenings writing about the high speed exploits at the last race meeting but alas, I really don't feel up to it.
I have just received some bad news today of my friend Gyles. While on a PB magazine trackday at Cadwell Park, he crashed his Guzzi heavily going into Hall bends and the bike followed him in and hit him. As I write he is in intensive care in an induced coma. I am not too "up" on medical issues but have been told the next 24 hours will be important and pivotal. I am not a religious man, but I feel myself praying for him. My feeling shit, is nothing compared to what his family are going through and as I cannot contact any of them, I can only wish the things I wish for them all here.

You can't leave yet buddy....
