@Slej was in an accident and has been in the ICU. He is now home.
@Smoochie and @Slej
So sorry to hear about the accident. The good thing is that you are still around to tell the story. Here's to hoping for a speedy and successful recovery. My wife and I live not too far from you two. Please reach out if you need anything! My wife has been with Sentara for the past 30 years. She has connections at all of the area hospitals. If @Slej is at any of those, just let us know. I'm at NMCP. If you guys are over here, just let me know. -
Ouch!
Heal quickly brother.

Hello
We have not been following along on this thread. We (Cathy and Marty) plan to ride over with Macaws and bride. We look forward to meeting everyone. Sounds like some of the folks we met in Clarksville will be attending. Cathy offered to bake some nice french bread. Have to pack light on a Sling
regards
Barbie and I look forward to see you guys again.

@Slej was in an accident and has been in the ICU. He is now home.
He has: Broken ribs, Puntured Lung, Concussion, Hole in his Head, various other contussions, road rash, etc. etc. etc.
He is so lucky to be alive. He is struggling with short-term memory loss and I'm struggling to keep him from - driving, going to work, and doing too much. He keeps saying gotta go get the sling.
Trama doc said no drive or work for 4-6 weeks BUT I am taking him to primary doc today at 10:30 - I have a list of questions that I plan to ask and write down the answers so that Mr. Hardhead can read when he forgets.
I do not know if we can make it to the party. But if I can make a donation, I will gladly meet someone to hand a check to! My cell is: 757-913-1969.
@Slej cell phone is dead and we are trying to get a replacement phone after the doc appointment.
Holy shit. @Smoochie, I'm sorry your family is having to deal with all of this on top of everything else lately. He and I had a good discussion when he stopped in last weekend, and I know there's a lot on your plate. Please, if there is anything we can do to help, let us know. My cell is 757 621 7725. Meals, transportation, visits, work around the house - whatever.
If you guys can make it out to the party, we would of course still love to have you. There will be comfortable accommodations both inside and outside to relax, and plenty of food and comradeship. Totally understand if you don't make it. Hang in there, and don't be afraid to reach out.

Thank you all for the kind words and prayers. We really appreciate them!!
We have so been looking forward to this get together. He is having headaches and his pain is not manageable yet. That's why the not sure.
The fella that was riding behind him said he would give him a 10 for his dismount but had to take points off for the landing. He was airborn about 15 feet and did a full somersault in the air then landed right on his head.
Who knows, he may feel wonderful Saturday AM and we'll see you all. I promise to keep you all posted. I do need a text where to drop off our donation!!!

@Slej is Navy Tough and will come out of this better looking than before this little 'mishap'! (And he was a handsome gent to begin with!)
@Smoochie your Sling is safe and secure and I've got the battery on a tender, plenty of room to store and there will be a frosty beverage waiting on him when he escapes the nurses!
Wishes going for a complete and speedy recovery.

Holy crap @Smoochie ! Give @Slej a hug for me (and a swift kick in the butt when he tries something he's not supposed to do). I'm sorry to hear how badly he was hurt, but very happy to hear it wasn't worse. @KayTwo should be texting our address - if he doesnt, please let me know.
And if you need anything, please do t hesitate to ask.

@Smoochie Sailors are tough. Some not as tough as you. Prayers go out to you, my Brother. You look good compared what it could have been. You're here to fulfill a mission that you may not even know yet. We did not lose you for a reason. Now it's up to you to find out what it is. And when you do, you'll have a team backing you up.

Do not know you much @Smoochie and @Slej, but like others have stated, prayers and thoughts for a speedy recovery . . .
And the important thing is he's still here! 15 feet in the air? ? ? Landing on head? ? ? I'd be gone. . . You've got a tough one there. . .
And interesting to see it was on a two wheeler . This is why the Sling is my first "motorcycle" . . .

Thank you for all the well wished and prayers. They are working, and I am feeling a lot better!

This is the first time I've opened this thread. I'm too late for the party as it's tomorrow and I have plans this weekend that I won't be able to change. I really hope to meet as many from here as I can one day. As for @'Crystal', thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service! As for @Slej, I hate this happened. I'm thankful that you will recover, and have lived to tell the tale. Not sure what caused the accident, but this is why I've backed off from riding two wheels as much. Drove the Sling over 12k this season, only about 1300 miles on the Harley. Never thought I would say this, but we are kicking around selling the Harleys next spring. Below are pics of my Harley from August 2013 that was totaled when the van decided to U-turn from the side of the road just as I was going by. Hit him at 40-45, no helmet, got about 15 feet in the air and landed hard. My foot was on the brake, and you can see how bad the damage to the brake was in the second pic. My foot still gives me some issues to this day.

Sorry to hear this... @Slej stay strong and get healed up. Rest/Relax and I know you will be back in the SS soon. The bike looks bad, but it can be replaced. Your a tough guy and I know your going to 100% strong soon.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery!!
