Doug said he wasn't seriously hurt, but I heard from some folks at Saturday breakfast that he hurt his ribs pretty good. Also heard that he hasn't sure what happened for sure, but maybe the lean angle might have been to much.

Big Jim's wife also went down about 4 weeks ago at about 50 mph south of Wagner, SD. She had her full gear on, got a little banged up, spent 6 or 7 hours in the hospital getting tests done but then was released. She got bruised up badly and tore up some muscles in her rib cage, but no serious damage. Her R1200RT was totaled. I think she was told no biking or swimming for 4 weeks.

Tom "Bullet" (BSR & BMW MOA) had a guy-wire incident while camping at the Kansas Rally and busted his shoulder up. He can't ride for 2 months now.

Original Randy had a minor incident on an I-29 entrance ramp a week ago. Rider and bike are Ok, underwear and pride not so much.

Be watchful and wear your gear.
