Sounds as if he had a front tire blow out or something. Sure glad they are still with us.

Owen just called me, as he was just leaving the Hospital. They are both doing ok, Dave will probably be released tonight but they are probably going to keep Jamie over night. We are trying to set things up to get Daves bike picked up tomorrow and over here. I think Dave will get on here and post the particualrs on their injuries if he so wishes too. Please continue to hold them both in your Thoughts and Prayers.

Sorry to hear this, I hope they both recover soon.

We may need to turn Dave in for mistress abuse. Last summer he broke Roxie's heart and this year he has physically abused her twice in a month.

just got home from Leakey and seen the bad news. ronda and I will have them in prayers.

[Kregerdoodle]

I just spoke with Dave, he and Jamie are home, they will be sore for a while, but thankfully it wasn`t worse. INS. to release the bike in a day or 2 and will have it delivered out here, where she will have her own stable to rest and recoup. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and Prayers.

 

Thanks,

Prayers sent!!!!!!

[Flyinfool]

I hope you both feel better soon.

 

I am not looking to point fingers or blame here just trying to learn from others misfortune so that I do not have to learn the same lesson some day.

But I have to wonder, What causes a tank slapper to happen in the first place?

Is it possible that there was some hidden damage from the tire issue a couple of weeks ago?

[Sweetnothing]

I'm so glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been! Dave and Jamie...if you guys need anything we are all here for you! Just give us a call!

We will keep you both in our thoughts and prayers!:bighug:Not too tight...I know how a broken collar bone feels:whistling:

[RandyR]

glad to hear they're home.

Thanks all for your kind thoughts and prayers. We're home and comfortable-ish. The insurance company is taking Roxie to Kreggerdoodle's. Maybe then I'll know more about what happened.

 

Here's what I wrote my office.

 

Dave

 

Coming home Sunday from a motorcycle trip, the bike suddenly veered left and went down. I have no idea why. I was coming to a stop and then Jamie and I were thrown. A witness behind us saw nothing happen; no fishtailing or anything. To me, it felt like the wheel fell off, but people who have seen the bike thus far can't see anything wrong.

 

Jamie suffered a concussion with amnesia. She was confused, so the doctor and I decided to keep her for observation. She also has some belly road rash and a whopper of a black eye. I'm not worried about her concussion anymore.

 

I landed on my left side. My collar bone is broken near the shoulder end, and pain management is an issue when I move. Car rides are awful. I also have deep muscle bruises on my hip, so getting in or out of chairs is not something that I look forward to.

 

The doctor suggested that I stay home this week and Jamie will as well.

 

He told me that I can't ride for two months. Honestly, I love Roxie but our relationship seems jinxed. I don't know that Jamie will ever get back on... she was really scared. So maybe it is time to rehome her. I have a couple of months to think about it. And to wish I were riding. :'-(

 

Oh, one more thing. This would have a very different ending had we not been wearing helmets. Ours both have bad scrapes, and Jamie's looks to have rubber marks. I think the trailer I was pulling ran over her head. Just imagine that when thinking about helmets.
