Question Hesitated Posting this out here
Although not a FL Crew member but a Southern Cruiser and Patroit Guard member decided to post this .. We did a protest run to Crystal River .. Honest Bob was along they were saying too may flags up on the building so we added more .. Where I felt guilty was why so Close suggested running Ozello Trail .. I did say before we left when led the run will see you at the end, ride at yor own pace be safe and have fun .. Anyway a Rider went down.. But we handled that, got his bike out of the ditch and he lost his spleen and other minor damage.. But followed up, visited him and his wife and Towed his Bike back home today .. Not looking for a pat on the back, think many here would do the same for me ..

Good for posting Jay, we all know the risk we take to do what we love. He looked in good spirits and so did his wife, praying for a speedy recovery here in N Cuba. Bike did not look bad at all, good job there Jay.

Correct Dave if see the left side crashbar is pushed back almost dead on the engine and am sure the handlebars were cocked left and thats the reason he lost his spleen ..


Thanks for the well wishes from all will pass on to Ernie ..
