Well, we all hoped it wouldn't happen this year, but we've had a rider go down.
Marvin, aka 'Pappy'; DR1300R's (Doyle) Dad - went down yesterday on the Skyway. Low-sided hard into a guard-rail. He was air-lifted to Knoxville where he underwent surgery this morning to repair the compound fracture to his left leg and tendon damage in his right hand. He's got a lot of road rash, some broken ribs, and a collapsed lung. He's still in ICU, but is doing OK. Doyle and his wife have been making trips to Knoxville to be with him.
Here at the Bash, we have started a little collection to help him out. If anyone would like to contribute, please PM MC Mustang.
Our thoughts and prayers to you Marvin for a speedy recovery!
