Last Sunday a friend of mine went down. He blew a corner, target fixated, went through a barbed wire fence, hit a tree and was tossed about 50 yards from his bike.
Punctured lung, swelling on the brain, a couple of broken fingers.
He was knocked out but breathing on his own when taken off the hill.
Yesterday morning he was taken off the meds that kept him sedated and is currently in a coma.
If you are going to take risks..... please manage those risks. Wear the gear (Wayne was a jeans and vans guy). Take sportbike riding classes. Always ride within your skill level when riding as a group.
The life you change when something like this happens.... is not just your own. Friends and family share that pain... and they dont get the morphine.
Please send positive thoughts Waynes way. :'(
