Not gone, but took a good fall...

Buddy of mine took a real bad fall on his harley this weekend, went around a curve and the bike went out from under him. He hit a guard rail and went down the embankment. He was helicoptered out. As much as i have heard so far, his arm is broken in multiple places, his ankle is real messed up, and he has a fractured back. I know he has been slipping in and out of consciousness.... but have no other details thus far.

The real kickers is that he JUST got his bike back after having an extensive engine rebuild. He is not your normal harley riders, he rides that bike better than most sport riders. Just hard when the bike isnt made for it.

Say a word for him if you dont mind.

Sorry to hear it. Hope all turns out well.

Very sorry to hear about your friend; my family will keep him in our prayers.

On a positive note, it is probably good for your friend that you were with him when it happened - every second counts in situations like these and the sooner medical attention is given the better.

Said a prayer for him. Hope he recovers quickly and completely.

thanks fellas, actually i was not with him at the time, we usually try to ride, but i was working on another friends truck yesterday, so i was not able to go, i dont know if i could have seen that anyway... hard to watch...

broken back? ouch!!! Hope they can fix him so he can ride again.

i wish him a speedy recovery to full riding health.

Sorry to hear this. I hope he recovers quickly.

Sorry to hear that, hope he has a full recovery and goes on to ride again some day.

Consider himself very lucky to be alive if he hit a guardrail, as most riders don't survive after hitting those things. So I assume that's him pictured? What kind of hear was he wearing and how did it hold up. Being a Harley Rider, was he just wearing a helmet? Hope not. Thanks for posting, as we all can learn from this.

Heal up quick wishes to him.

nice bike hoper he gets well soon

That sucks man. Hope hes up and around soon....take care

Sorry to hear Jay, hope the best for him.

sucks.. hope he ends up ok..

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Nice bike too.
