Default Rider down

One of my co-workers here in FL went down yesterday coming into work. I don't know the details exactly yet, but I know an oncoming semi was turning left in front of him, he tried to get around the tail end and didn't make it. He caught the rear bogie. Not laying blame on anyone, really doesn't matter today. He's a veteran with a family. A ride the Harley to work every day guy, rain or shine. Guys, he's in very very bad shape, May not make it. Whatever powers you believe in, whoever you pray to, Spence could use all the help he can get.

Thanks

My thoughts and prayers for healing and a full recovery for Spence. How awful for him and his family. You're a good friend for caring and sharing. Stick with him no matter what.
