Gadzooks Mike Injured Returning Home From Cumberland Gap

I don't know what happened. His wife sent me an email.

Both his legs and one shoulder are broken but he says he is OK otherwise.

I'll post updates as I receive them.

Crap! That sucks. If Mike reads this, I hope he knows we are thinking about him.

Take Care,
Jonathan

UPDATE

Mike is in Chattanooga TN Erlanger Hospital. He will be in the hospital there another week and in good spirits all things considered

The accident occurred on US41 south in Chatsworth GA when a car started to pullout in front of him from parking lot. He got ready to brake and the car stopped Mike relaxed a bit relaxed a little removed hand and toe from the brake. The guy changed his mind and pulled out in front of him. He laid the bike down hit the car and was thrown into the air. He told me he hit his head three times although how he had enough wits about him to count them is beyond me. His right femur is broken in three places. His left ankle is broken and a torn rotator cuff. He has had surgery on his ankle and leg and now can't go through metal detectors at the airport any more.

He was wearing a helmet, gloves, boots and jacket. He said they all worked. The only road rash he has is a small spot one hand where the glove let go. They were batting gloves not motorcycle gloves.

The bike is probably totaled. As we all know used GZ250s are not worth much it doesn't take much damage to total one.

More updates as I get them.

What did the accident report look like? Will the driver be paying for the damages?

The driver will have to pay. He was charged and admitted guilt so it seems pretty much cut and dried. I don't know what he was charged with.
