Excellent news! 

Here's to a swift and complete recovery.   

Glad to hear things are looking up, let me know if you guys need anything I am here in Santa Barbara . You two take care

Here's to a speedy recovery, plenty of prayer, and best wishes to you both. 

Cheers Mates!

This is Dan's cousin Charlene from CA
Want to thank you all for the prayers and well wishes.  I am now home and recovering well. My legs are pretty busted up but they will heal.  With titanium in both legs i should come out of this a stronger runner and rider. I will elborate more on the crash as time goes on, but for now i am healing and glad to be alive.  PS my GS500 will be on the road again. Best to all here and a Happy New Year!!

Thank you for your offer while we were here in Santa Barbara. It was comforting to know you where here if we needed anything.

Glad you survived and are feeling better.  Hope for speedy complete healing for you.

Hi to everyone here! I wanted to give you all an update on my recovery. It's been almost 6 months now since my accident and i'm doing very well. PT 3 times a week working wth weights and walking 3 to 41/2 miles 6 days a week. Finally the pain in my legs are gone. Only dealing with stiffness and soreness but that's very tolerable. On Saturday, June 14th, i went down to the track for the first time and ran 30 seconds every 400 meters and continued that 6 times around the track. By the time i was done i had ran a total of 3 minutes, YAHOO!! I'm back to being the runner i was. Not the same, of course, but i can run even if it's only 30 seconds at a time. It will be different i know but i'll continue to work hard and get back as much as i can. I still have a cast on for the scaphoid fx i have but i is healing, just slow. H

thats some amazing news

and i must complement that even with the injuries ur still staying in shape!

where do u find the motivation!!!!

send some this way

and get well soon!

Had to have a second surgery, a bone graft, for the scaphoid fx of my left wrist. Hopefully the cast will come off in July. Can't complain though cause i now have the rest of the summer off from work and that's GREAT!!

My bike is almost back together. It runs, just needs handle bars, springs, fender, tank, and new tire. I got to fire it up the first time and that was GREAT!! Can't wait to get back on and ride down the street again. I sure have missed riding my bike. Shouldn't be to long now, just a couple of months!!

I know i should of posted here with an update sooner and i'm sorry it took me this long. I'll be sure to post here the day i take my first ride, that will be a GREAT DAY!!

Take care everyone and ride safe!!

... on the 2000 GS500 that she bought from me...

No wonder people don't like selling bikes and cars to their friends!

Glad to hear you're doing so well!

Plus, walking 3 - 4.5 miles six times a day? I would guess that you're in better shape than some of us here!

Hi eveyone,

GREAT NEWS!! i'm back on my bike and riding for the first time in 8 months, since my accident! Today was the first day i got to ride. It felt really great and i can't wait to go for longer rides. Left hand is still too weak to be riding very far but i'm working on it here and it will be better soon. I can't beleive how good it felt to ride. I was a little nervous but i'm ready to ride and with more time riding that will get better. I think it's mostly from not riding for 8 months. I'm also back to running on the road again! I'm back to doing the two most important things i love to do, riding and running.

Thanks again to all you here that have sent their thoughts and prayers while i was recovering! Here is a picture of me riding today!!
