Just got word that a very good friend of ours and fellow rider (Victory and all) went down yesterday evening and is comatose and in a 72 hour watch. Surgery was done to relieve pressure on the brain. He wore a helmet, I don't know the particulars. He is not a reckless rider.
But he is a young man, married and going to graduate in just a few months. He's been working very hard to get his degree. Came up the hard way working in the oil field for quite a while. Only about thirty. They sacrificed to buy a nice house and ride together at many of the gatherings we attend here. We see them often in off hour activities. We hope he will pull through, but don't know anything yet. Pray for them. Too damn young.

Who was it? Prayers for entire family.

Positive thoughts headed south.

 

[VicVisionBulldog]

A member here?

Prayers sent

 

[MagVic CCT]

I don't believe he is a member although I've tried to steer him in this direction. His name is Ian and he has a mate grey Cross country with BB and cams. Most of the work he did himself. Educated as mechanical engineer, he likes to tinker.

Sorry about your friend and hoping he comes out of it and recovers quickly.

 

[NOEMTZ]

Oh man. I tuned that build of his. I hope he does a full recovery.

 

[MagVic CCT]

Yeah, I kept pushing him to go see you. Glad he took the advice. We'll know more in a couple of days. Thanks everyone.

 

[md2420]

Ditto to what others have expressed. Totally praying and hope there is a speedy and full recovery!

 

[walks35]

Prayers for a solid recovery! 🙏

That's horrible to hear. I hope he pulls through and is able to swing his leg over another bike. Prayers going out for them.

 

[VicVisionBulldog]

Any good news to share? Or any more info on what happened?

 

[MagVic CCT]

nothing right now, but will find out this evening

 

[MagVic CCT]

Right now, Ian is still out. They say it could be 2 to 4 weeks before he wakes up. If it goes on past that then the odds become lower that he will wake up. He is stable, but still comatose.

Prayers for him and his family

 

[BrotherWind]

Very sorry to hear about this tragedy. I pray he pulls through. Prayer's to his family. He sounds like a great guy and excellent family Man. We need these types. God bless 🙏...

 

[MagVic CCT]

So, good news and an update. My friend is out of the hospital and home. Walking, talking, a tiny bit slow, but doing effectively normal in all respects. He still has a couple of surgeries but that will come a little later on.

Small steps to recover hope he continues to a full and complete recovery.
