Maybe that will keep you slower so I can at least "attempt" to keep up.

Today started off well, but it didn't end so hot for Connie. She low sided coming around a left hander on 129 and landed in the ditch with her bike on her chest. Russ was following and saved the day by pulling it off her.

Connie's at Northeastern GA Medical Center in Gainesville right now. She's a true 3%er, and when she wrecked, she did it right. : ) She tore her liver and will probably need surgery. She'll be in the ICU for the next five days or so.

The bike's not too bad, all things considered. The rear suspension link broke, the handlebars are mangled, the shifter's bent, and the gauge cluster snapped off. We tried to haul it off ourselves, but the GSP said he had to call a wrecker since none of us were the owner.

Man what a day, between Connie, the lowsided CBR coming at me, and then on the radio this afternoon they said there was a lifeflight going out of 129. Things were crazy up there today. Hope everyone made it home safe.

It was good seeing everybody today.

I stopped at Turners Corner on the way home and had lunch today, I highly recommend the Reuben sandwich

Hey all. I'm home. Connie's going to be an inmate of the hospital in Gainesville for a while. No idea how long, but the docs are optimistic. She has a lacerated liver and kidney. They're not too worried about the kidney, but they've got her on clotting drugs to hopefully get her liver to stop bleeding without surgery. Should know by tomorrow night if that approach is successful. They wouldn't let me stay any longer as she is in ICU, but I'll be back there at 08:00. She's in a lot of pain, but they have her on some nice drugs. I'll tell her everyone's thinking of her. She's a trooper and I'm sure she'll be fine after some healing. Thanks again everyone for all the help up there. I'm indebted to you all. Especially you Ratyson. Glad you were there for her.
She loves you guys and she's more worried about her bike than anything else. I gotta say the gear held up well. The helmet is toast, but served it's purpose. I'll let you all know how she's doing.

I've been sending well wishes and prayers your way for you and Connie!
Heal quickly~!!

And tell Connie that I wasn't trying to get a cheap thrill when I asked her if I could look up her shirt!! : ) She said it hurt, and I wanted to make sure she didn't have an open wound, I promise!

And you don't owe me anything at all, Dan. Well, except to make sure that Connie is well taken care of.. that's about it.

Oh for goodness sake!
Tell those quacks to put some tussin on it and let her go home!

Seriously, Dan, please let her know I'm thinking of her and wishing her a speedy recovery. When I saw that picture of her, I said "That's my girl! Wreckin' with style!"

Please let her know that it could have been so much worse...I mean, she could have been wearing gear that didn't coordinate with the bike!

Last I heard from Dan was about 3 today when we went to get the bike. She called while we were heading back and was in good spirits.

After closer inspection it looks like a rear shock linkage, shifter, handlebars, and some cosmetics will get it the bike back up and rollin!

Just got back from the hospital. She's out cold. They increased her meds and she's mostly just sleeping. When she's not sleeping, she's passed out. Her family's been to see her and everybody is feeling better about her prognosis.
That said, they're going to keep her in ICU for a while longer to keep a closer eye on her. They only let me hang out there for a half hour at a time, and she's stable, so I'm going to work tomorrow. I'll be back up there tomorrow afternoon.
I've been printing Badweb for her, so anything you said, she's seen. She appreciates all the well wishes.
Thanks Charlie for helping me get the scoot outa jail. It'll run again, but it ain't gonna be pretty. I see a Line-X paint job in it's future.

Connie, greetings and "Get weller soon!" wishes from a couple of wannabe 3%'ers from Fancy Gap, Virginia.

we hope you recover quickly and fully, and please let us know if we and/or BadWeB can help.

Let us know when she can have visitors. We'll organize a 3%er caravan.
