You don't know what a relief it was when the admin at the hospital told us you were discharged already.  Everyone on the ride, and board were very concerned.  We wish you speedy recovery, and please don't hesitate to call on us for help.  As to all the other new to the forum guys, I know how you all feel.  Back in June when we first starting meeting with the group, they acted as if we were family (the family they like  [cheeky] ).  This is an amazing group of people who have a passion for all types of motorcycles, and and even greater passion for the people who ride them.  Best group ever. 

GET WELL SOON Marquez!

 [moto] Hey WhiteCat just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of get wells that are being posted this morning !  I wish you all the best with your recovery and dealing with the aftermath of the incident.  Hang in there !!

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

A big  [thumbsup] on that.

Heck, I think we even asked the admin twice and once again just to be sure [laugh]--maybe the best news I ever got at a hospital, second only to the birth of my daughter, and I actually witnessed that  :P ;D....

Can't say it enough, let us know if you need anything WhiteCat.

Has anyone actually spoken with Whitecat?  How's he doing?  Does he need anything?  Is he with family?  Is he home alone with massive pain killers and massive swollen body parts?  I've been through this a few times myself, alone.  Even something as simple as someone making a Starbucks run can have near metaphysical implications in such a circumstance.

I wish I could do something from here in Phoenix to help, but if anyone does speak with him, be sure to tell him we are all thinking of him (and be sure to refer him to this thread).

We are still trying to find someone who can track him down. My latest thought is AMS. I am sure Scott, Jeff or Toni could give us his phone number under these circumstances. I am assuming of course that he bought his 848 through them. Bryant, you talked to him at the race watch party. Did he get his bike through AMS?

More well wished here... He did buy his bike from AMS, but of course they're closed today.
AMS might not give out his number, but maybe they could call.

Some of you might have met Marquez (pronounced Mar-kwez) at my birthday party a coupla Saturdays ago...

Ricardo Marquez Jones. Grand Prairie. No address, no records in Dallas County Appraisal District under Marquez or Ricardo. No phone number either.

Still no bike info. Called the Highway Patrol office in Bowie and they were kind enough to give me his name but did not know where the bike was stored. Trooper Slaton has the day off. Left message for him to call Lisa or myself.

I'll drive by there @ lunch today........

Anybody know what he drives?

I'm pretty sure he got his 848 from AMS and the exhaust as well.  I really wish I had his number still.  [bang]

Good work folks!! I looked through his intro thread for clues but saw nothing other than he mentioned Arlington but DPS said Grand Prairie for sure. He can't hide from us! And neither can his bike!! [clap]

Hey Marquez, I've got your bits and pieces (helment parts and mirror).  PM me and I'll bring em to you.  Thought you were dead when I first saw you all crumpled up.  Get well soon man. We are pulling for you.

Other than that my first ride was a great time because of the folks riding, not just all the awesome bikes.  I appreciate the lack of pressure to push my limits.  Thanks Lisa, Brian, Charlie, Bonnie, Tommy, George, et all (will get to remember more names as time goes).

well, I'm in Marquess's driveway getting ready to go back to work.  Unfortunately noone answered the door.  A neighbor a few houses down was outside so I asked if he knew marquess.  He only knew him by sight, not by name. I told him Marquessess was with us yesterday and had an accident.  Neighbor asked if it was in his car or on his bike.  Good news is that confirmed his address, so the address I posted before is good, incase anyone wants to mail a card or something.
