Noticed the change of culture here. It's looking a bit better..

My one serious accident: the first part of the Eyre Highway coming into SA from WA has NO shoulders, and worse, thick loose road-base off the sides. Got into an approaching three-way collision with two road-trains -- I had to get off the road fast.
Went down face-first into the road-base (was ATGATT, tho) with Postie landing on top of me, pinning me down.
First minute: just wait without moving to see if any serious damage and for the adrenaline to wear off.
Second minute: tried to get up. Couldn't, has my leg was twisted under the bike, and the weight of it was on my back. Was going to wait a few more minutes to get my strength (and pain tolerance) up.
Third minutes: two caravans stopped, luckily driven by Dads in their 40s who were strong enough to lift Postie off me.

Lucky as all Hell!
I continued on to Mudrabilla(?sp) roadhouse, and stayed for a few hours to make sure I was okay. Damage: twisted leg, sprained knee+arm, ripped shirt. The manager there was really genuine and told me to let them know about calling up the Flying Doctor if I needed it.

Postie weighs about 95kg, maybe120kg with the stuff on it. I'd have been in much flatter condition if it were a 'real' adventure bike (loaded BMW GS's are ~400 kg..)
