Sport Rider Editor in a serious crash

[Warchild]

Daaaaayamn.... it's Andrew Trevitt!

Not good.... not good at all.....

 

[squeezer]

Oh, bogus. And caused by a cage making an illegal U-turn. :angry:

 

[Warchild]

No feeling in his lower extremities is kinda chilling.... let us pray it's a temporary paralysis thing....

 

[Wolfhound]

We had a woman die here last night when a truck turned in front of the bike and killed her. Neither the HD pilot nor the woman passenger had helmets on . . .

 

[ridepastu]

Will say a prayer for him and is family

 

[vabrzn]

I'll be wishing him all the best and a speedy recovery.

 

[FJRBluesman]

Testing tires on AC Hwy??? I hope it was at legal speeds....

Prayers for him.

It always get to me when good rider goes down.

 

[2WheelTiger]

I was introduced to Andrew several years ago. Good rider, good photog, good writer, terrific guy.

This is sad. Truly.

+1.

If "They" can go down, I can too. And I am a couple of light years from being as good as the better. Without question, it is a dangerous passion (riding bikes). Yet another reminder.

I sure hope Andrew recovers. I have met him a couple of times, once at a track day at willow spring. He was a very fast and competent rider.

 

[FJRMGM]

here is to wishing him a full and speedy recovery.

Proof once again, that even the best of us are not immune to "one bad moment on the bike".

Protect yourself at all times out there folks.

 

[CAJW]

I've always enjoyed reading his musings, here's to a speedy and FULL recovery!

 

[Warchild]

This is really a bummer... this guy was a Force.....

 

[Silver Penguin]

Ouch! That's not good news.

Hopefully, the paralysis is caused by swelling and thus will be temporary. Also hope that the car driver is held accountable for his/her actions. That is NOT a road where anyone should even dream of making a u-turn.

My thoughts and prayers are with him, too.

 

[sandiegoland]

He just spoke again at our local club meeting a few months back. We have sent our well wishes and hope he recovers to ride with us soon.

It appears that the situation looks fairly bleak....

A guy on the Busa forums, who apparently has close contacts with Andrew, reported the following today:

I did receive an update today. It appears there is a sliver of hope but realistically, Andrew will most likely remain a paraplegic for the remainder of his life. From what I hear, the doctors say it is possible he may get some feeling in his lower extremities but not very likely.

Not the news we were hoping/praying for.....

WC, any chance you might know of a link or some sort of address to pass along our well wishes/support for Andrew?
