Go Wings!
Before I had an FJR, I had a Honda ST, and still belong to the awesome community at the ST-Owners forum. On Saturday, we had an ST rider named Dean from Rochester, have an accident near Espanola, Ont. west of Sudbury. He went off the gravel shoulder, stayed right of the guardrail and down a big embankment, probably hit a rock and did a couple of endovers. They transferred Dean to Sudbury hospital for investigation of possible neck fracture since they found something on the original xray in Espanola.
When I discovered the posting Sunday morning, I thought I would ask Bungie (whom I'd just met the week before at CFR) if he could perhaps retrieve some personal belongings from the bike (still in Espanola area) and see what the bike looked like. Well, he has more than risen to the occasion, and has stayed active in our planning the return of Dean to Rochester, as two or three of us will have to transfer him home. He has offered us an overnight stay and is on standby to help where needed.
Dean in particular is very grateful as he must feel like a prisoner stuck in hospital bed over a Can/US holiday weekend, no belongings, and reaching out to his friends way down in Rochester (no family). Bungie is the first guy he has seen (and only one so far), and was very relieved to get some of his personal stuff. Meanwhile, the support group is assembled and we are awaiting word for Dean's release so we can transport him. Dean is amazed at this also.
All the guys on the ST board are a very supportive community and they all want Bungie to know his efforts are much appreciated. And I want to publicly recognize him here as well as an outstanding FJR citizen. Thanks, Bungie, life is much better for all of us because of your help and we are much better informed of the situation. You rock!
And now I read about Brodie....... it looks like there's a bunch of people stepping up in that situation too. I'm sure Brodie appreciates every post and phone call so he doesn't feel alone. I can only urge anyone to pay forward, and hope we never need that kind of help. All the best.
