I had a quick chat with Brian a little while ago, he's confirmed that although it was "touch and go" as to whether he'd be allowed out of the hospital for the the day, he'll definitely be going to Phillip Island on Sunday.
For all the whining I hear about the public health system here in Victoria, I have to say that Brian is being very well looked after. The hospital is providing a Toyota HiAce bus especially modified for wheelchair access (hydraulic tailgate etc) that families can hire for day trips, so one of Brian's mates is going to drive him down to the Island on Sunday, or if his mate can't, I will. I think this will be a great thing for him to get out of the rehab ward for a day, and down to the Aussie mecca of classic motorcycle racing.
Mmmmnn, here I am daydreaming about Phillip Island, is that Castrol R I can smell? Or did the dog just fart? Fcuking dog!
