Just got off the phone with his sisinlaw. 23 stiches to the right knee he has to go to an orthopedic specialist tomarrow, he might have blown out his knee. Ligament damage. He cannot use it al all. He has road rash on his back, chest , both arms, and right leg.

He is in a special whirlpool for burn victims right now. He has what would be classified as 3rd degree burns all over his body.



Hospital told him he should be dead. If he did not have a helmet on he would be dead helmet was trashed and he has marks on his forehead and neck from it pressing against them with force.



I have to go to the bank this afternoon and call in a favor with the branch manager and see if he can skip his car load payments for 2 months while he recovers.



His dad is sending me pics of him. He told me its unbelievable.

At these times it's important to be positive and give him good feedback, but I just can't resist calling him an idiot for doing this ****. Lcky bastard, hopefully this'll teach him a lesson.

Part of me wants to smack him in the head and call him an idiot.



The other part wants to know what its like to slide down the interstate at 90MPH on your ***.



I hope he/we can look back at this and laugh one day.

jim: thats a tough choice you are faced with. theres a fine line between having fun, and just being wreckless. its my inclination to say get someone else, but obviously i dont know the full details.

wow even if he had insurance he wouldnt receive anything, im pretty sure it's illegal to ride a bike with nothing but a helmet (when the bikes dropped a tanktop and jeans are equal to nothing)

At 90MPH I think he is just happy to be alive.



I want like hell for him to come back to work. He is the most honest big hearted person in the world. He just makes stupid decisions.



I am going to make about a half dozen call tomarrow to try to find a temp. The more we talked about this at work the more I realized I want him back. I am going to call all the surveyors I know until I find a temp.



Kevin - I watched this moron in my neighborhood leaving on his Harley Sunday with his little bitch on th back he had on jeans and no shirt she had on micro shorts and a bikini top. No one down here takes ridind seriously.
