lonestarmedic Posted October 6, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 6, 2012 Just got a text from his wife. Not sure the story but will find out. She said it is totalled. He has a broken zygomatic arch in cheekbone, broken right hand, and a detached retina. Of course bruises along with it. Surgery will repair all of that and his is ok. She said lot of front damage and fairing. He is up in SAMC so we will try and stop by to check on him. Sappermedic (Brian Wilkerson a.k.a. goes by Wilkie) Lives outside S.A. in Converse He must be doing ok, she just texted and said he is worried about his bike and not making the fall run to Leakey.

BuddyRich Posted October 6, 2012 Share #18 Posted October 6, 2012 Sorry to hear that. But ain't it funny? We have a mishap and if were walking the first thing we do is see if the bike is OK or we wind up in the hospital and one of the first things we ask "Hows the bike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestarmedic Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share #20 Posted October 7, 2012 Surgery went well on his face. They were going to run another scan on his melon after that. If the docs like what they see, he will be released to go home. I was going to say if thet don't find anything, but that is just too easy an opening for this crowd. I will check on him again tomorrow. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SapperMedic Posted October 7, 2012 Share #23 Posted October 7, 2012 well, first things first, I owe the forum $10..... Now the story, When I got off work on thursday, The front tire felt a little wobbly in the corners. Since I wos off Friday I jacked it in the air and couldn't find anything. Took it down the road for a check out and came up on a huge MVA. As I was passing the scene, I saw a body laying 50-60 feet from the accident site. I guess It suprized me and the SUV driver in front because she stopped in the middle of the road and I plowed in to her at about 20-25 mph. Went over the top on on my face. Thank Goodness for a quality helmet. they repaired the hole in the cornea with a lazer, cast the broken hand and operated on the broken cheek bone. Now one of my biggest problems is trying to post with one hand. THANKS EVERYONE for the prayers and good wishes. Now I just need to figure out where they towed the bike and how much SAFETY Chrome got ruined...P.S to Buddyrich, the zumo held up like a trooper. A big thanks to Lonestar Medic for being the best leadman out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
