The power of the DMF compels you.

Last Sunday a friend of mine went down. He blew a corner, target fixated, went through a barbed wire fence, hit a tree and was tossed about 50 yards from his bike.

Punctured lung, swelling on the brain, a couple of broken fingers.

He was knocked out but breathing on his own when taken off the hill.

Yesterday morning he was taken off the meds that kept him sedated and is currently in a coma.





















If you are going to take risks..... please manage those risks. Wear the gear (Wayne was a jeans and vans guy). Take sportbike riding classes. Always ride within your skill level when riding as a group.

The life you change when something like this happens.... is not just your own. Friends and family share that pain... and they dont get the morphine.

Please send positive thoughts Waynes way.

Wayne listen:

GET WELL. 

And then go for a ride.  And take more bloody care this time  .

That's painful viewing the pictures.
Hope your buddy Wayne recovers soon.
Ride safe everyone.

damn! hope he comes through everything ok!

[Kaveh]

That sucks Joel 

I hope Wayne recovers fully and soon!

I'm sorry you had to experience that, I can only imagine how hard it must be 

I'm glad that you are a friend that manages the risks of riding.

Even though I didn't screw up as far as my riding goes the turkey attack that broke my neck absolutely devastated my wife. To this day, four years later, she wigs out every time I go for a ride. If I could call her every 5 minutes while I'm riding it still wouldn't be enough for her. She was thankful that this summer was so damn hot. It kept me from riding as much.

BP's right when he says the life you change is not just yours. Be careful not selfish.

I hope your friend recovers completely and next time wears the right gear and doesn't ride over his head.

I hope he heals up quickly. 
I had a moment myself yesterday when some jerk in a pick-up decided to pull a u-turn in front of me. Even though i locked up the brake, I was able to recover. The guy was totally clueless and could not comprehend what he did wrong.

Hope your buddy is okay.

Was on a ride last weekend and saw a guy in front of me almost go over the guard rail turning onto a bridge. Your words ring true.
