Hopefully it wasn't too bad if he was conscious and hopefully an Ambulance was deemed unnecessary; I wish him well too.
Just read orgamist's post there was an Ambulance, still lets hope it was just a precaution and nothing too serious.

Hope he's OK.
Slow response of ambulance may well be an issue. When I witnessed a motorbike crash a few weeks ago, I called the ambulance but it took 20 minutes to arrive, despite being only a few minutes drive from the nearest ambulance station (so I was told). But quickly getting a paramedic, or at the very least a trained first-aider, to the scene is best. Those first few minutes at the roadside can be absolutely crucial.

Re the ambulance for 'your' motorcycle crash there may have simply been no one at the ambulance station to respond. The ambulance service more and more frequently seem to have 'no ambulances' to deal .... or they have to come from a distance.
Not ideal but the result of people expecting more and more from ambulances perhaps .... rather than go to their GP or to A&E themselves if possible and not using it for a true emergency ?? Just a thought ....
