Update on my Dad's 4 month trip not good news

Just got a phone call about my father. For those that were following his trip from London to Magadan Siberia, the trip is over for him. He crashed yesterday. He hit a rut and went down. He should be home in California in a day or two. He has a seperated shoulder and some cuts and scrapes. He will have surgery when he gets home. Bike also has damage. It could have been worse considering they were in Russia and just getting to the middle of nowhere.
A life long dream comes to an early end, but I am glad I still have my father.

Just wanted to update those that were following the trip through the blogs and spotwalla.
I feel bad for him.

Sad ending to an epic trip, I'm sure he will still have some stories to tell and you will be grateful that he is able to tell them to you.

He sounds like he knows what to do when he falls off the horse... Hope he has a speedy recovery and can finish what he started!

Very Sorry to Hear, He didn't finish the trip, At least he covered some of the territory, and He'll have a hell of a story of how it ended. Very glad he's ok, And have a speedy recovery.
