This from his wife:

Vince has been in an accident, Friday night. He's in the hospital, he will be okay.



Broken and dislocated right wrist, it was operated on Saturday morning. 8-12 weeks of recovery.

5 fractured lower vertebrea, no nerve damage. And a fractured rib. (of course).



Just talked to his wife. Apparently some girl had her right turn signal on, then decided to pull aleft U-turn right in front of him. He flew over the car and landed on the other side on the road.



Speedy recovery my friend...

I'm going to see him in the Abotsford hospital today.

Home from hospital, and firstly i must say the staff is stellar.
I don't know what it is with my ribs but it sure seems like i can't stub my toe without breaking a rib.
I am fine and will be hunting for a new bike soon, BMW 450X?
Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes.

Boy, there has to be an easier way to convince the wife you need a new bike :D

Get well soon and keep the shiny side up!

Was out to visit Vince at home today, He was propped up on the couch looking a little uncomfortable, but had awry smile on his face. One lucky man! The pictures didnt do the damage justice....

Vince, all the best, and a speedy recovery bud!
