Default Flyslow, went down. ***Updated Pics***

Accident happened last night. 5 broken ribs, collarbone & he just learned he has a partial collapsed lung. He said that an animal ran out in front of him, swerved to avoid it & hit the curb with both tires at the same time.

Fly's scoot is in my shop, safe & sound. I will transport it to the dealer tomorrow for inspection. I was just on the phone with him & he's going down in the a.m. for the surgery....he said to wish him well & that it goes quickly !!!


5-30-2008/ 6:45 pm...waiting to hear from Mike, will give update when I do.

Man I really hate to hear someone has got that tore up over some varmit that ran out in front of him.

I'm sure hoping he does well in surgery and the bike is repairable too.

Glad his is going to be ok, the bike can be fixed or replaced. Sure he is going to be sore for a while.
