My good Friend Mitch was in a coma for 6 days I think it was, but they released the induced coma and he's been good, a little uglier, but okay and good to go.

this is a second hand as I am in Tenn, but our guys can get some what... spirited, and he lowsided and slid under an on coming SUV... it drug him a a very short distance, but there were plenty of support riders and friends there to jump on the issue. He was Air lifted out and put into a coma for brain swelling. Mitch is a really smart guy, in the medical field and he was treated correctly. Already thinking about a replacement scooter... I think the wife may have something to say about that though

At least he was wearing proper gear. Can imagine how much worse it would have been without.

VERY glad to hear he is ok!!!!


this thread is the holy grail for gear *****. sliding under an SUV would have killed him otherwise probably.


PS: way to build suspense by just posting pics schu. ***.

No offense, but it looks like the rider simply exploded while sitting on the bike

Happy to hear he's all good, cuz damn, that helmet sure isn't.
