Late May last year I had some bad news about a mate of Peters an' mine up in Scotland an' I posted this:



' I got this email this mornin' from a mate over in Holland about a mate of ours Andy Paterson (used to ride with the Buzzards MCC) around the Inverness area.

All,

Here's an update on Andy Paterson in Scotland, in hospital after the hit and run accident on Sunday afternoon when a car drove into the back of him on his bike and left him for dead:
Andy now has several broken ribs, a punctured lung, a broken spine and possible nervous system damage.
This news couldn't be much worse for him as the consequences could be absolutely disastrous. Seems there's very little we can do just now, his condition seems to be stable.
Let's hope the police will find whoever did this, probably a drunk driver.

Will keep you posted,
Jan

Just put it here in case any folks from here have met an' partied with Andy.

Stevie. '



Well that was then. Andy's back was broken in a couple of places renderin' him permenantly paralysed from the waist down. Andy's a fighter tho an' as the photo below of him on his 'busa trike proves there's life in the dog yet. He's only just taken delivery of it an' he's already out enjoyin' himself.
Great to have some good news.

not to my knowlege Blue but Andy is movin' on from that, from what I gather his mates have been superb up there, sortin' a lot of things out for him. His spirit is somewhat overwhelmin' an' I'm proud to know him.
