Got some bad news. A brand new member Ol Dude ( John Claypool) from Saginaw, Texas, was in an accident today. I called him to touch base about the wrench party and his wife answered the phone and said someone hit him from behind. He did not have a helmet on either. He is in John Petersmith Hospital (JPS) in Fort Worth. His brain is swelling and he is in a coma. He was a John Doe for a bit till they finally discovered his real name. Don't know when today but I didn't want to upset his wife asking for details. She doesn't even know where the bike was taken to. I will also post this on the General board. Please say a prayer for his recovery. I will try and keep everyone up on his condition.
