The cause of the accident is unknown but he may have blacked out.  It seems he was conscious the whole time and when asked if an ambulance was needed he replied - "Nah I'm OK - I 'll get up in a minute!!"    In the end he was medi-vac'd to hospital by helicopter. For further updates you can follow this thread on the Australian CX500 & CX650 Register:  Bear's Accident Kathy 1978 GL1000 GoldWing 1980 CX500 Shadow 2006 NT700V Deauville 2006 F650GS Dakar Previously: 1976 CB250 1976 400/4 Super Sports 1980 CX500 Shadow (new) 1983 GL650 SilverWing Interstate 1983 GL700 Wing Interstate 2004 NT650V Deauville    Report
