OMG!   :o  John!  I'm at a loss for words here.  All I can say is I wish you a very speedy recovery!  I'm so glad your injuries weren't worse.  ATGATT for sure and I'm sure that helped you.

Aïda and NC Steve, Thank you so much for getting that information to us.  

I haven't actually met John, but we did talk on the phone once.  I think it was during the Lima, OH, rally.  I couldn't make it out there from California, and he had to work, so I gave him a call and we  had our own little phone rally!   ;D  We had a great talk and laughed alot.

John, we'll be looking forward to hearing from you when you are up to it.  Take care buddy!

Oh no....  Best wishes for a fast recovery John, though a shattered knee sounds bad.

Gosh, thanks SO much for all the good vibes and well wishes from all of you!  I really appreciate it more than you know!

I know I have a long road of rehab ahead of me.  I just had my first go at using a walker a little while ago, and that was some ordeal!  I will have a lot of "challenges" to overcome, but I know I can do it.  Riding season may be over for me for this year, but 2011 ain't that far off!   ;)

Again, thanks all, for the warm and fuzzies!  This is just one reason why this forum is one of the best in motorcycling!    [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hang tough John!  Keep us informed on your rehab and progress. If you ever visit San Diego, you'll always have a bike to ride.

Another set of good wishes from the UK. It happens here too. But our kind hearted judges usually bail them to appear in court later....and often they don't.

Hey John!  

So glad to hear from you.   You're sounding good.  The attitude makes the difference, and you do have that.   ;)  So they have you up already, eh?  Good.  They do that these days.  We grumble, but we do it.  

I'm sure we'll hear plenty from you now.  You don't have anything else to do, right?.   ;D

I'm so happy to hear from you John and that they've already started you on the walking regimen - that is good news !

Maybe we should make up another flag or something to put on your walker..

So sorry to hear about the accident, John, but relieved that you are doing OK and already on the road to recovery.  Walkers have two wheels, right?  Well you're already on your way!

Hang in there and take it slow and steady.  I was looking forward to meeting up with you and NC Steve at Willville this summer, but will move that to next year's schedule.  Take care of yourself and keep checking from time to time to let us know how you're progressing.  Our thoughts are with you.

Great to hear John you are up & about & on the road to recovery, great news.

Hope the scumbag gets the full force of the law thrown at him.

As you said mate 2011 is just around the corner & you'll be back in the saddle doing what makes you smile.

John have a speedy speedy recovery.

Hi John!  You sound so positive!  Thank goodness.

I was in surgery for hernia repair when you posted that on Friday.  I am just now getting to where I can sit at the computer for more than a few minutes.

This is a crazy business, life, eh?
