Update,... It was yesterday, mid day... he as ridin' in town, clear road, safe 30mph, calm traffic, and the bike (Harley Sportster) suddenly threw him down...
The bike is expected to be totaled... (I'm going to hunt it down at the impound on Monday)...
Gerry thinks either the front tire blew out, or jumped off the rim...
His shoulder is broke into 4 pieces,... (they are debating repair or replace surgery on Monday)
Ankle is broken,.. something punctured clean through the leg...
Plus many sore, scratched, and bruised places... all over...
Fortunately,.. he was wearing a helmet (he says he remembers some strong hits to the shell)...
.. but,... Gerry's in good spirit,.. talking up a storm,... considering a Harley trike for a replacement...
He expects to get out of hospital Wednesday or Thursday...
Healing may be 6 months or more...
Gerry's been a lifelong motorcyclist,.. he's got many 100's of K miles riding experience...
I'll wish him well from you all...
