Here is a report from
http://www.tailofthedragon.com
"An R1 went down in Parson's Branch corner and landed in the branch some 18 feet below the road. Rider suffered two broken legs, broken ribs, and broken cervical vertibrae - and darned lucky to be alive."
Jim, Buddy, You are definitely in our prayers after suffering these injuries...... :blueangel:

I hate to hear about this happening to anyone, but it's even worse when it's someone I know. :sad:
I'm very glad to hear that you'll be OK. The description of the accident that Jim482 posted sounded very, very bad.
If there's anything that you need, please let us know. You'll definitely be in all of our prayers.
Get well soon. :thumbs:

Re: (SMC) A member needs our prayers... (jim482)
Sorry to hear about your accident, Jim. My hopes and prayers for a speedy recovery go out to you. Having just recently recovered from my own motorcycle wreck I know how frustrating forced idleness and loss of independence can be. If there's anything.. ANYTHING... I, or any SMC member, can do to help please let us know.
Thanks Jim482 for letting us know about this tragedy.
