Just wanted to put word out that GA member Viper apparently was involved in a very bad motorcycle wreck over the weekend.
Details are sketchy but he is at Grady hospital in rough shape.

I'm sure his family will appreciate any thoughts and prayers

Will update more as info becomes available. I am trying to get in touch with his wife.
 
 
Have an update.
He has 7 cracked ribs a broken collar bone and a few other things.
 
Wow sending prayers and good thoughts for a speedy recovery.

Considering the alternative,  that's not too bad.

Good vibes and happy thoughts to him and his family.

Thanks for the update.
 
Awe damn!  That's terrible, but as has been said, beats the alternative. 

Best wishes for a quick recovery. 
 
Latest from his wife
Viper is not really able to talk to anyone or use his cell.  
He is in a tremendous amount of pain and is heavily sedated.  
They tried to set him up today and it took everything out of him.  
Please keep us in your prayers.


Hopefully better news tomorrow
 
Sad to hear and hope all goes well and he heals up fine.
 
From what I understand, a deer hit him while he was on the bike, speedy recovery Viper!  Prayers and good wishes

Wow, I was going to make a comment about cars and bikes. Never heard of deer hitting a bike.

Sending warm thoughts and speedy recovery!!!
 
Any updates on Viper.  ???
 
Sorry all for not updating sooner as I have been heavily involved with family issues.
Anyways. Good news is Viper has been home for a few days and is slowly progressing forward.
Still having some issues but in time all will be better.
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers as they are helping!!

Thanks Hugz good to see that. (y)
 
Hi all  :needhug:

I am recovering at home now and feeling better.  I just noticed this post and want to thank Hugs and thre rest of you for your prayers I have needed them.

In short I was heading to work on a Friday morning at 5am when it all when wrong.
The driver behind me reported(because I have no real memory of the crash) that a dear jumped onto the road and hit my bike.  This bent the front fork in and locked the front tire causing the bike to skid for 7 feet.  Sliding off the road the bike highsided and through me 20 feet back onto the road.

The damage was
Ribs 2-9 fractured
Right collar bone fractured
Right shoulder fractured
Some internal bleeding
Collapsed right lung
Road rash on knees

The bike was a Harley Davidson Elelectraglide and is a total loss

I was in a full face helmet, thick leather jacket, gloves and boots

Again thank you all for your thoughts and prayers
 
That looks like quite a ride, glad to see you are healing up. (y)
 
Hope your healing is quick and full.
 
Thanks all.  I had my first follow up and all looks ok.  I just have to start physical therapy and heal up.  Still hurts to move around but I am getting better.
