A Perth man critically injured in a serious Bali scooter crash has secured passage back home to Australia.
Shane Ramsey, 30, struck a pole while riding in Seminyak on Sunday morning, a day after he was a groomsman at a friend’s wedding.

The carpenter from Clarkson suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain and underwent emergency surgery.
He remains in a coma in hospital in Kuta where family and friends have remained by his side, waiting for the chance to fly him home.
That will happen sooner than expected, with loved ones confirming to 7NEWS.com.au that Ramsey will depart Bali for WA about 11.30am on Thursday.
He is scheduled to land in Perth just before 5pm and will be taken by ambulance to intensive care at Royal Perth Hospital.
Ramsey does not have travel insurance and his medical bills are climbing.
The cost of the surgery alone was $53,000 and each night in hospital is a further $9,000.
The flight home is expected to cost at least $150,000 and his parents have flagged they are willing to sell the family home to help cover the mounting expenses.
Generous donations have poured into an online fundraiser set up to support the family, with more than $90,000 raised so far.
“His family would like to say that they have no words to express their level of gratitude towards all who have donated,” campaign organiser and family friend Amyleigh Mitchell said.
“Between those who do know Shane and those who don’t know him, we are all blown away with the extreme level of support and how much has already been raised to help.”
Ramsey’s mum Catherine told 7NEWS.com.au on Tuesday her boy had “done a lot of damage” and it was a “waiting game” for him to be well enough to be woken.
The crash, just three weeks after Ramsey finished his apprenticeship, has thrown his future into turmoil.
He planned to enjoy the trip away with friends he has known since childhood before launching into the next stage of his career as a carpenter.
WA Premier Roger Cook said every Australian who ventures overseas “should have travel insurance because you never know what will happen”.
