Dale124 Posted May 9, 2015 Share #26 Posted May 9, 2015 That is truely frightening, Kerry. I'm glad you're ok, though. I was hoping to see you guys at venture west again this year, but I guess thats not going to happen. Too bad, but I guess it could have been so much worse.

Flyinfool Posted May 9, 2015 Share #29 Posted May 9, 2015 Off to hospital now. When they were running tests they found a problem with my heart that places me at high risk for stroke. I will be going on a blood thinner like warafin when I get out. You may now start the rat jokes. I do have a rat rod. 46 chev p/u. At least something about me will be thinner. That sounds just like my scenario. First the acident, then find heart problems while prepping for surgery. Then the blood thinners to prevent stroke. I been playing cardiac wars since October. At least with the ankle you will not have to run on the treadmill......... Good luck with all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted May 10, 2015 Share #30 Posted May 10, 2015 "at high risk for stroke" I think I would have had one when the parts were in middle of road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comingbackdown Posted May 10, 2015 Share #31 Posted May 10, 2015 Wow. Sorry to hear, but I'm glad you're still kicking. Thoughts and prayers your way. Get well soon, friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share #32 Posted May 11, 2015 Out now. As it is Sunday still have not seen bike. Going to phone tomorrow. Doc says five weeks for the ankle a little less for the ribs. P ray for me, Janet might . decide shooting is quicker than divorce. What I saw at the site is hopeful, No fluids leaking. Crash bar bent back to the floor board on left side. Tire right off rim Not much cosmetic damage. There is a long gouge in the pavement where the highway peg dug in and slowed it right down and helped keep the body off the pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest divey Posted May 19, 2015 Share #33 Posted May 19, 2015 Kerry not sure if you plan on climbing back into the saddle once you're healed up but there is a nice looking 2000 Venture on Kijiji with under 12,000 kms on it in Oliver. Looks pretty clean in the pics. It doesn't have any extras by the looks of it and for some reason the antennas aren't on it?? I have no knowledge of it or the seller but it's just around the corner from me and could check it out if need be. Hope you're on the mend.
