I don't know who WhiteCat is.  I was at AMS Alvarado yesterday and they showed me someone's recently crashed bike.  It was one of the sport classics (red) and the front end was  mashed really badly.  Said the rider was in a hospital with broken back.  ? same person but accident would have been no earlier than on Saturday.. The speedo was digital and final reading frozen at I think around 50mph.  Sounds bad. Godspeed to all downed riders!

Nope.  This just happened on the (still-in-progress) Munster ride.

For those interested, I got a little more information from CJ.

Marquez was awake and talking before being taken to the hospital.  No other vehicles were involved.  Mishap occurred in a corner.  Bike left road, rider left the bike.

That's about all I feel comfortable relaying - being a mixture of eye-witness from CJ, and second hand info.

Best wishes for Marquez!

If anyone gets any more news about White Cat, or his full name and room # please send it to me so Bonnie and I can send some get well stuff.  If anyone plans on making a trip to the hospital, clue me in.  I'd like to go give him some friendly support.

Same here all, if anyone is going up to visit please let me know. I was the next rider behind him, Charlie and there with Dan to roll him over. Watching him lying there brought back way too many memories of friends that I have rode with in the past that didn't make the recovery. My number is 817-703-5419 if anyone gets any info.

The trooper gave me his full name but I was so centered on giving him my contact info about his bike I have already forgotten it. Wasn't focusing enough at the time. I do remember the trooper telling me his middle name was Marquez, must be what he goes by. We'll have troubles at the hospital with HIPAA since, in return, he doesn't know all our names well enough to put us on a contact/info list. I am a little confused by the fact that he would not give the EMS techs any contact info even though he was awake and lucid. What's up with that? I know the hospital will get it out of him soon enough. I'm just worried he has a wife and kids wondering where he is. Tongue This is not a good situation at all.

Whitecat had no family pics in his wallet, took him a while to respond to anything, but his eyes responded to light and he moved his feet for us.  Can a person visit him if they give him a room and if he is okay with visitors?
