I just spoke with James Esquibel, who fell during our outing Saturday.  He has a concussion (as though we couldn't tell by the blood running out of his right ear!), a few broken ribs, and several other swollen, tweaked, and torn appendages, but doctors have told him he should make a full recovery. 

James doesn't remember much of what happened before impact, but he asked me to relay his thanks to everyone who stopped and helped him out, as well as those who gathered his stuff and helped get the bike onto the trailer.  I'll add my personal thanks to his....thanks to everyone who helped.  It means a lot to see friends rally around friends.  It lets me know that I have chosen my friends and riding companions well.

Scott,
Anything we can do to help him get around or get things done for him until he's back on his feet?
He has been riding with our group and I'd love show him that we care for a fellow rider.

I already offered for myself, and if anything comes up I'll let you know.

Thank you

This is not sounding good, please wish James from my end as well! This is the same James who rides a Kawasaki-Black with few flames and slicks on Crest few times?  :'(
Ride forever...
