Thank you all for coming... and a special thank you to IrocRob for his support and endurance... I am glad most of you had fun and enjoyed the ride despite the unfortunate events... Since I never had the chance to dine at the pub, I will make sure to order the 8-lber next time... You can take that to the press!
Well, this was one of the most eventful LF that we ever had... I, for one, don’t believe in superstition and its baloney... However, this Saturday was something out of the ordinary... Apart from having Eric’s breakdown, Shelly & Matt’s lowside, and two nearby “unrelated” motorcycle accidents... it just didn’t stop coming!
One of us didn’t make it home that night

... Oskarjr had gotten into an accident by his house on his way back from pub199... He was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital (Bethlehem, PA) where he has been there since Saturday night... Nothing life threatening, but he had sustained a fractured vertebra (3rd on Lumbar from top) and some bruising to his knees... I had the chance, with others, to visit him at the hospital yesterday... He is in good spirit, and he might possibly be out in a few days... There is a good chance he will be wearing a back brace for quite a while... Needless to say, he is definitely out for the season... We do not know the final details of his accident or his bike’s condition... But from what he was told, it appears that he was attempting to make a left turn from a complete stop and a vehicle had rear ended him in the process... He recalls he was by the double yellow lines, so there was enough room for anyone to overtake him on the right... With out speculating on the driver’s condition, we should know everything once he gets hold of the police report...
I wish him the best of luck and speedy recovery... and a safe riding season for the rest of you...
