He totalled his Fatboy and had to have surgery on his shoulder and ankle. His wife was also on the bike and made out better than he.

Yes, I've heard from Greg (and just realized I owe him a call, will do so tomorrow!) and that was scary, he's pretty dinged up but still lucky all things considered. I believe he's getting his boat out of storage next week so that's a good sign!

I saw the doctor today, he now says I can lift up to 1 pound. So I either have to gain some strength quickly, or drop about 170 pounds so that I can ski this summer.

Ahhhhhhh, the days gone by .... hard to beat a Scrambler. My first "real" bike was a 1969 Honda,125,twin cylinder,Scrambler.

At age 14 I had the world by the tail.

I sold my motorcycle so I could get enough money together to buy my boat. I sometimes miss it, but enjoy the boat much more. Maybe it was for the best.

Get well Chuck, hope everything turns out ok

Thanks for tuning us in Chuck and taking 45 mins to peck out a msg to give us an update. Did you talk the doc into making the cast waterproof? Prayers to you my CCFriend and get well soon. It's obvious that you still have work to do for 'The Man Upstairs' and he's not done with you yet.

Well that makes 2 CCFans in the last month. Prayers sent for a full & speedy recovery Chuck.

Thanks for all your concerns, kind thoughts and prayers. I have not been active here as late but hopefully my life pace will now change. I'll give fuller report later, when I can get my voice activated software in place. How does Jbear do this with one finger?

And thanks Steve for the report which confirms that I'm not as old as you:-)

By the way, the bike WAS an ST1100 not a Goldwing

Family, friends, and faith are for me vitally important, thanks to you guys for being that!

I'm very fortunate, coming off a bike and over a deer at 55mph on a rural road, well, to be here pecking on a keyboard with some friends is pretty good stuff.

And yes Brian I see the irony.

Chuck

Get well soon. The Big guy has more work for you to do here!
Steve

Sound like the deer never had a prayer. Glad to hear Chuck is home and recovering.

Ahh man, I hate reading things like this.. Glad to read that Chuck seems to be out of danger..

Thanks Jbear for letting us know what happenned....

glad to hear J-Bear

Hate hearing this. I am glad it wasn't worse.

Get well Chuck.

Mike

OMG, That sounds very serious.

Praying for your full and speedy recovery Chuck, Get Well Soon

I don't know this gentleman but I hope he recovers soon, we lost a fire captain today in a motorcycle crash up in the Sierra, after too many close calls I figured I had used all my free passes up and sold my motorcycle while I still had my hands and feet and stuff. It's not a matter of IF? you are going down it's WHEN?
