As i remember most of us had our
moments as you can see, there is an excellent story attached to both Geordie Gormans
and my accident. Geordie failed to stop at the junction and crossed the road hitting a
telephone box in which was a gentleman speaking to his friend, Geordie said he saw the
look of terror on the guys face a he approached with brakes locked,. In my case it was all the fault of Steve Cull and friends from Bangor,. i was visiting the Carrowdore 100 and as i was leaving one of them asked me if i could give a guy on a Suzuki 500 Titan a bit of a scare as he had been messing about with them on the way down, now Steve only had a 125 Yamaha at the time and i had the YDS7. I waited till he set off and i followed but it was impossible to pass him on the road to the coast so i waited till we reached the Portaferry road and turned right,. he saw me in his mirrors and took off, his acceleration was ok but he didnt seem to have the nerve for the corners so i sat up his pipes and pushed him as hard as i could, on the outside and then the inside to keep him occupied,. finally i had a chance on the big sweeping left hander at the Ballyblack turn off, he slid out wide and i went up the inside,.. into the next right hander flat off the stops,.. oops slow traffic,.. i pulled out to overtake when an elderly lady decided she had enough of traffic and pulled over to the otherside of the road and stop,. she didn't see me so i clipped the back of her but managed to miss the wall but slid it quite a way along the road,.. I arrived in Ards Hospital A&E and was there 30mins when the nurse said she had to get more swabs and left me in the cubicle,.. on her return i hear her shout "Mr.Beattie you should not be out of bed, get back in here..." I was mystified, i was right where she left me, the curtains were pulled back and the look on her face was superb,. suddeny pale and bewildered she looked at me then outside again then me then outside again,. "Mr.Beattie you are still here",.. "Yes",. i said,.. "Then who is that", she said,. i couldn't see but a voice said "is that you Mad",.. i recognised it as Geordies,. "Yes" i said,.. the nurse was mightily relieved she thought she was cracking up,. thing was Geordie and i had the same colour and length of hair, same denims and leather jacket and cut off denim jacket with our club logo "Bronco Mc." on it so it was quite understandable,. |
