Subject: RE: Milaminute and Sparco's Group - ClosedGreat that he completed his tri.
Sad that he crashed. Had a friend crash on a motorcyle a year ago. He lost a kidney split his liver and spleen almost in half, had to remove 3 feet of his lower intestine, broke his back, concussion.
He was in the hospital for a month. He was so drugged up he didnt recognize his wife for most of that month. Really freaked her out.
He has been riding for 30 years. He still doesn't remember what caused the accident. But friends who were 2 minutes behind him, saw a baby deer near the road, and think he swerved to avoid hitting it, and yes he was going too fast. He thought he was good enough to handle the speed on a twissting road, and for 30 years he was good enough. Not that afternoon though. |
