Author Message   Chihuahua_stud Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 04:37 pm:        I just got back from the hospital. Brian will probably be in surgery until midnight. Mark is going to call me as soon as Brian gets out of surgery. He has a shattered vertebrae,so they are going in to clean it up and put some rods in. The prognosis is good if all goes well with the surgery. He should be using a walker to get around within a week. Mark, Brian's brother said that you guys should feel free to call him for updates. If you need his number call me.   Deadduck Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 04:45 pm:        This morning had to be the worst ride I've had in a long time. As usual, i was following up in the back of the group, when we approached a car traveling slow. C-stud was leading and clearly passed the vehicle with Xbullet following suit. After passing the car bullet was coming back into the lane and went into a bit of a wobble then strait off into the ditch. At the point of asphalt seperation (his chin fairing was found some 25 to 30 feet off the road), Xbullet pushed himself away from the bike out of instinct as the two of them tumbled some 200 plus feet with a telephone pole splitting their paths. Xbullet was extremely fortunate because his body barely went by the pole and made contact with a vinyl fence and a small oak tree where i found him conscious and hurting resting underneath. Alot of folks stopped and prayed for him as he layed there, and I thank them all. Emergency services were quick to get to the scene, very suprising considering where we were and that it was a Sunday morning. Xbullet is currently at Grady's Trauma Unit where I understand he will have surgery tonight on his lower back, C-stud can give more details on the injuries, but I know he can move his limbs and he has feeling all over. Our prayers are with him and his family in this time of need.

Good to see you Fran!   Ratyson Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 06:37 pm:        Wow. Even more prayers are sent. Heal well Brian. from now on, I will be checking my chin faring fasteners prior to a ride. I have never checked them unless I was putting it back on.   Paint_shaker Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 06:48 pm:        Get better soon XBullet!!   Shred Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 07:55 pm:        Thanks for the updates on Brian. Let me know what I can do to help. Where his bike at and does it need to be picked up? Heal fast "Rock Star" (Message edited by shred on September 09, 2007)   Chihuahua_stud Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 07:58 pm:        "When can we visit?" I would give Mark a call, he will know for sure. I am sure Brian is going to need a little quiet time after surgery. I do know that they only allow one visitor at a time while he is down stairs in the trauma unit.   Chihuahua_stud Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 08:03 pm:        Shred, his bike is at Deadducks garage. The bike is definitely totaled. Just have to see if the insurance company wants it before Brian makes his decision to part it out. I have some pics that I will post later if Brian's OK with it.   Stealthxb Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 08:07 pm:        Wishing you the best Brian.   Glitch Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 08:44 pm:        What a beautiful little girl!   Shred Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 09:46 pm:        Pink for sure, she's a angel B_S. Theirs nothing like seeing your baby sleep. Sometimes when I can't sleep I'll just watch Nicholas sleep. Hers's Nicholas getting his 'WHEELIE' on.. (Message edited by shred on September 09, 2007)   Ulywife Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 09:55 pm:        Stealth - love the picture, she's beautiful. Shred - I bet Nicholas and Luke would have a great time together! He does the same thing on his riding toys. Of course, he loves to ride the Uly down to the shop when Carlos puts it away for the night.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 10:15 pm:        One last installment of "The Dirty Road." Day ten: the last day I woke up to a beautiful mountain sunrise in Waynesville, NC this morning and headed on down the road for my last day of vacation. As long as I rode Saturday, I expected to be sore as hell, but I actually felt great. I rode about 45 miles south down the Blue Ridge Parkway to Cherokee, NC. After successfully navigating some sort of bike rally, I connected up to highway 19 and on to 129. I spent a whole week riding 2000 miles on mountain roads in five states, and it really gave me a new appreciation for what we have here in Georgia. I had a great time on some fun roads, but I never found anything to compare with the run north up Blood Mountain on 129 or the really good sections of 180. I see now why people flock here every year for March Badness. And lest we forget, there are some pretty good mountain views right here in our own back yard. I had a great vacation, but now I'm home, and it's back to the grind! I can't wait to do this again next year.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, September 09, 2007 - 10:28 pm:        > This time next week I'll be in Virginia at V.I.R If you run into a guy named Robert on an X1, stop by and say hello. He's the dude from Macon I rode with Saturday on the Blue Ridge Parkway. He said he'd be at VIR. > Complete.....Hayden's first motorcycle ride!!! I told you he'd fit right in that side case. P.S. I found my black bungee net, so that one you have isn't mine. It's a good thing I found it, too, because the new one I bought never made it to my bike. I was standing a bit too close to an oil tub when I opened the package. Oops. > Hers's Nicholas getting his 'WHEELIE' on.. Haha, like father, like son.   Chihuahua_stud Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 03:46 am:        I just talked to Mark, Brian's surgery went well, no surprises. He is now begging the process of recovery. Continued prayers everyone.   Deadduck Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 03:55 am:        C-stud, you're still awake? good to know everything went well so far. I've been thinking about him all night.   Ulywife Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 06:48 am:        C-stud - thanks for the update. Can't offer much help from NC but will continue to pray for Brian and his family.   Glitch Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 07:10 am:        Good to hear. Now get some sleep.   New12r Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 07:23 am:        Heal well Brian! Our thoughts are with you! Stealth, Cute! We will try to get by to see ya this week. Nick looks like a true rider Shred!!   Bambi Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 10:42 am:        Mrs Glitch, THANK YOU! I can't believe you remembered! I will do my best not to kill them. After seeing me with plants and pets, Kdan understands now why I never had children! Brian, prayer said, couple of them now. Sanchez, next year, we want to go with you! Charlie/Sam (and the Hare Bear bunch) sorry I don't get to make it after all. I blame Kdan. He said your little kid-ling is a cutie. Some times I wish we lived closer to that side of town since thats where all the COOL KIDS hang out. I am soooo ready for our lives to settle down and we can start playing with you guys again. We didn't get to see you guys that much but I miss even the little we did! I don't care for these Bucking F*$@kheadians I have to spend most of my time with. Boring, Superficial, arrogant....dahhhhh... Anyway, miss ALL you guys! Oh yeah, and I DID drag a peg, quite a few times actually, this weekend AND managed to keep up with Kdan. Granted it was on the low riding Blast AND Kdan was on the KLR 650 with him AND his Kid, but hey, it's a start!   Glitch Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 11:08 am:        Kdan was bragging on you yesterday. You were missed. Don't despair, Buelltoberfest is only weeks away!   Shred Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 02:10 pm:        Glad to hear Brain is going to be o.k...thanks for all the updates. Sanchez, Looks like you had a great time. Will do...if I run into Robert on the X1. Ulywife, How old is Luke? I'm sure they'd have a blast. N12R, A rider for sure.. just no stunting. LOL!!!   Ulywife Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 02:17 pm:        Luke was 3 in April. He's all BOY. He loves to ride the lawn tractor and motorcycle. He likes to hang out with Carlos when he's working on the bike. Of course after watching Handy Manny, he knows what Squeeze is and its job!   New12r Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 04:40 pm:        N12R, A rider for sure.. just no stunting. LOL!!! Wait till I get ahold of him!! Bambi, We missed you too! Kdan was bragging on ya for sure too! Kdan, Loved the second gear bark.   Sanchez Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 06:07 pm:        I talked to Mark this afternoon, and it looks like Brian's in for a long rehabilitation. The doctors replaced his fractured L1 vertebra and installed a metal rod to brace the damaged area. Recovery will take 6-8 months, but the good news is he will recover. It's possible he'll have some numbness in his extremities, but he'll definitely walk again. Other than that, his only other major injury was a dislocated shoulder. He'll be moved to a spinal care recovery center in a few days and probably won't have any visitors until then.   Black_sunshine Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 09:19 pm:        Sanchez.....Do you know if he will be at Shepard's Spinal Center? If so I am down there at least once a week and I can pop in and see him. When he is ready, of course. He will walk again....AWESOME!   New12r Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 10:03 pm:        Great news!! Keep it up Brian! We are thinkin' of ya!   Sanchez Posted on Monday, September 10, 2007 - 10:33 pm:        > Shepard's Spinal Center Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what Mark said.
