In July, an old friend of mine Russ Granger was involved in a sidecar racing accident at Buttonwillow race way in California.  He was thrown 30-40 feet in the air and landed on his back and neck.  Russ and his wife Kim are dear people and (as you can imagine) his becoming a paraplegic has been extremely hard on them.

I met Russ through his father Jim who I used to share shop space with for Flight Cycles years ago.  Jim and Russ passionately repair, restore and race vintage motorcycles in California with Jim's knowledge and experience with Honda's fabled RC30 being world renown.  They painted the M1000SS, the SS2R, the Bobber and a couple other bikes I had built.

I don't post things like this, like ever... But, if you've got a few extra bucks in yer pockets this holiday season, this would be a worthy place to put them:
