Faces, motorbikes and trucks near Kargil

A young guy Peter, a new BulletWalla took his lovely 350 Bullet from Delhi to go through Ledakh and Jammu etc.

About 40kms out of Kargil a truck took all of his space. He wrote to me saying that he was so sorry that the bike that I had built for him was messed pretty badly at the front end. He said that he was feeling pretty messed, his face was hanging off and was in Kargil hospital and looking a mess. Said that his brain felt loose, to me this is serious shock and being high up in the altitude it would not help.

I don't think that he was wearing a helmet.

If anyone is up in the area, or knows anyone that is travelling through, could you please call in to the hospital and see how he is, I am sure that he feels pretty lonely right now and it will be a while before he is shipped back to Europe for plastic surgery.

Now Peter has been transferred to a hospital in Haryana to be just outside Delhi and ready to be shipped back home to Austria.

He was wearing a helmet, but a local Indian Rs 400/- made one that just collapsed on impact. Here is a warning for sure. He has a cracked skull, sounds pretty wiped out but planning for his new custom bike to be built so he can get back in the saddle when he is well again.

Lying there in the hospital dreaming about his new bike after being in a big crash. Now there is a bulletwalla in the making.
