Ned went down. (?)

All information from this post (http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2999824&postcount=7047) by ice750. guys i'm part of the ETR board and one who works at deals gap store. i didn't see anything posted here but ned went down today. they took him to be checked out and i haven't heard anything as of yet. he was hit by a harley rider who couldn't make the turn up by parson's branch. just thought you guys should know. be careful when you come up for this years convention. we look foward to seeing you guys up at the store. for those who make the long drive get some rest before riding the dragon. Hope everything is ok. Not a good way to start out the week. Please be careful everyone.

damn that sux.....hope all is well

Do you know which bike he was on? Hows he doing now? Hope all is well.

I don't know who Ned is but I hope he is not to badly injured :/

I hope he is ok..... YES everyone, we don't want to collect money for anyones family again this year.... PLEASE BE SAFE and leave the ego's at the cabin's.

Damn Uncle Ned... Another jack ass harley, what a shame. That sucks... best to you Ned, heal quick.

thoughts and prayers

PLEASE BE SAFE and leave the ego's at the cabin's. Heh, if ya all want ya can ride in the back with me. I know where my skill level is vs. twisties and I grade myself as a novice at best, and wouldn't mind the company at all.

Guys, I posted in the other thread as well. Uncle Ned is OK. His left femer was broken near the hip. A 45 min op, couple screws, zipties and duct tape, put him back together again. He is still in hospital but hopes to get out today or tomorrow. A crazy Harley hit him, even though he did his best to avoid the guy by almost moving off the road, the moron still hit him. Apparently the guy was riding way over his head and had blown all the corners before then. Sucks that he hits our Uncle Ned. Get well soon Uncle Ned, I am looking forward to hanging out with you.

People riding over their head at the Gap? Never....:crash Glad to know he'll be ok. Heal up fast Ned, I plan to be there next year and you better be riding then.

All the best Ned on a full recovery

Get well Uncle Ned!

just got back from seeing ned at the hospital and the man is definately in great spirits all things considered. the harley rider that hit him also rode with him to the hopsital in the same ambulance. the guy never even once asked how ned was feeling, how is that for a true jackass. all the harlery rider was worried about was finding the nearest harley dealer to fix his bike. some people honestly have ZERO business being up there on the dragon let alone on a bike. he hopes to be out of there by wed. morning and back over around the CROT by 10 am if they'll let him. he said he plans on staying the rest of the week and will just hang out and watch the zoo unfold. see you all when you get there. just be careful the road is getting busier and busier everyday. if you want to ride a good spirited ride shoot for the late evening/night to ride and don't ride it alone. through the day go hit up other roads around the area or just go find a place to park and watch the madness. all of the locals, well they don't ride during the day up there anymore, simply because there's too many people who don't know how to ride up there riding.

Thanks for the update, I actually just talked to him and you are right, Ned is in great sprit. I really cant believe the Harley rider didnt even ask how he was doing.

Heal quick Ned. See you Thursday at CROT for some good 'ole fashion Harley bashing.

Man, I'm so relieved to hear that Ned's ok. What a true asshole that Hardly rider must have been. I think I'll take it very easy during the day as ice750 suggested - definitely want to do a Skyway run or two anyways. Ned / Ice750 - I'll see you at the CROT sometime - share an ice cream or a bottled water with you guys. heh. JUST ONE MORE DAY TILL I LEAVE - WOOT!

feel better uncle ned!!

:cowboy I'll see ya tomorrow Ned...

...and what happened to Jack Ass Harley rider? Cops, a beat down, et al...?

man, this blows i hope ned heels up quick btw, wat happend to the AZZ in the harley??? i hope that he is in worse condition(well not really)

Glad to hear he is doing okay, I'll be up there tomorrow. Please ride safe everyone!

Apparently, the harley jagoff started balming some guy on a FZ1 who was behind him, stating he "was pushing me really hard....." Well, then PULL THE FUGG OVER YOU STUPID POS!!! :mad:

Good to hear Ned is doing better and will be released soon. It's a shame that people don't realize the damage they can do on bikes. Even more so when they don't take responsibility for their actions. :(

Heal quick mang...

What's up with the HD ***ctard? Did you guys pay him an R1-Forum "friendly" visit?

Apparently, the harley jagoff started balming some guy on a FZ1 who was behind him, stating he "was pushing me really hard....." Well, then PULL THE FUGG OVER YOU STUPID POS!!! :mad: wat an azzhole. its a shame:no

Ned was the first person I ever met at an R1 rally and he made my wife and I feel very welcome. The never met a stranger kind of guy. Nice going HD squid.

well atlease he knows that he will be gettin his bike of choice thanks to the HD rider:fact

Hello all... I talked with Uncle Ned a couple of times today. He seems to be doing really well! Looks like he will be released in the morning and will be tooling around the Fontana in a wheelchair for a few days. Looking forward to having ya back with us Uncle Ned!!

Looks like he will be released in the morning and will be tooling around the Fontana in a wheelchair for a few days. Looking forward to having ya back with us Uncle Ned!! :thumbup More good news. Looks like Uncle Ned's going to have a strong upper body when he leaves the convention. :flex:

Apparently, the harley jagoff started balming some guy on a FZ1 who was behind him, stating he "was pushing me really hard....." Well, then PULL THE FUGG OVER YOU STUPID POS!!! :mad: LOL. Yeah, it was PJ (PJFZ1) two bikes behind him . . . on a GS500!! PJ was making his way through the parade of Hardleys, and when he got to the second guy from the front, he realized how poorly the two in front were riding and backed off to wait for a long straight to pass (Parson's branch was just a few corners away). The HD rider hadn't stayed in his lane for a dozen turns. He blew a really tight, downhill, right-hander and almost went in the ditch. He managed to save it only to ride down the wrong white line for 30 feet directly into Ned who was hard on the brakes and almost stopped when they impacted. PJ stopped to tend to Ned while I hauled ass to the store to call for an ambulance and bring back some cold water for the victims. While PJ was talking to Ned, one of the riders he had passed in the pack came over, not to ask how Ned was doing, but to tell PJ it was all his fault. Whatever. Our friend, Sean (KYJeep40330 aka H3then) who owns an FZ1 but was on his Harley for the weekend (and knows how to ride), walked over to where the HD riders had stopped, looked at their Michigan license plates and said "Curves suck, don't they?" Ned . . . sorry about the leg. Glad we could help in a small way.

wow, they actually try to blame some1 else of wat happend.. Such is society today.

what a jackass

Ned got out of hospital today and hung around the CROT all day. In the face of immobolizing injury and substantial pain, the MAN toughs it out all day with his ridin' homies! ......and got some customization done to his new RIDE!!!... http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u284/Boiler88/DSCN0624Large.jpg

did he get those tennis balls from mccoys????

Get well soon Ned!

Can he put heli bars on that thing?

Glad you are ok Uncle Ned.

Damn, sorry to hear this. Get well soon Ned!!!

I'm back........home that is. Gaprider and his wife Robin packed me up and drove me home to SC. Eddie my brother! It was great to see everyone at the Gap but I hated to be down and out for the festivities. Thanks to everyone that helped out while I was being an invalid. Will keep you posted as things progress. Looking at a couple of months recovery time and then some rehab. Very little pain just stiffness ,soreness and a pinned broken femur.

http://www.tailofthedragon.com/ scroll to the bottom of the page This is how we do it! Relaxin in the ditch with Eddie standing guard........

The guys wife was okay......just shaken a little bit. Nothing broken or damaged. Where's the no driving HD husband while his wife is laid out on the road? holding a d..... HD inspection. Azzz hat..... On the ambulance ride he said zero to me just yacked to his wife about the HD dealership two hours away where he could get the beast repaired instead of agreeing to rent a car and drive her home to Michigan as she was asking him to do.

Okay,:) :) I feel better now that I've vented.

did he get those tennis balls from mccoys???? :bash........... speedy recovery to ned.........:thumbup

Ned, glad you're all right.

that sucks Ned. More time to spend at the strip club now... tell the wife the doctor ordered it

was dude ticketed at least?

You guys have no idea how the "stupid asshole" factor has increased with the HD crowd this year. I'm serious. Stories to come.

First and foremost, Very glad your doing fine Ned....met you at last years convention and we spoke briefly. Also, glad to hear that your doing fine as well Skanky.....I get the feeling some of these Harley riders are taking to the Dragon as if they believe it's their own from reading another post or two. Looking forward to hearing more.

Okay,:) :) I feel better now that I've vented. Glad you got home safely Ned.

Hey Ned, I got in around 12 noon today. I stopped off at a rest stop past Jennings and slept for 2hrs and then hit it again around 5am this morning. I got your message late but I had already given Chad the package before we went to the Yamaha Dinner. OH!!! Hey Plimsquid!!!

Glad to see you made it home safe! The wife, kids and I just got in and finally unpacked. The HD guy sounds like a real TOOL!! He'll get his. If you need ANYTHING just give me a call,,

So you gonna sue the shit outta that guy or what? Sounds like a complete jackass if all he could think about during the ambulance ride was his POS cruiser rather than apologizing to you or even his wife...

Glad to see everyone making it home safe!!!! Its was great to see you again Ned and my prayers are going out for a speedy recovery!

So you gonna sue the shit outta that guy or what? Sounds like a complete jackass if all he could think about during the ambulance ride was his POS cruiser rather than apologizing to you or even his wife... I'm going to own him. I figure if I take his HD away then maybe he won't do this to anyone else. He can't ride it anyway so he really doesn't need it. A little courtesy and compassion would have gone a long way with me. So he can just brace up and let's see how tough he really is........

Laura got a great Pic of you and me in my Suburban when I came to pick you up at the CROT.

Make him pay for the other HD guy that almost ran me off the road. :owwn3d

If so, take her away too and put her to work!

The enemy,,,,,,,,,,,,,800 lbs. plus fluids, two riders,gear and luggage at 40 mph equals broken leg, http://www.motorbyte.com/MMM/pages/reviews/reviewpics2/review46b.jpgHandling is pure cruiser. The Electra Glide wears its 800 lbs. low, so it steers lightly. The suspension, while improved, is not that of a sport-tourer. The Classic coasts over slow-speed bumps and absorbs minor potholes like a '78 Chrysler New Yorker. But mass and a long wheelbase work against you in stutter bumps. When pushed hard, the mighty 'Glide becomes unglued. But hey! That's not what an Electra Glide is about, right?

would ya look at that? It steers light....

I am sick of all the cruisers I know talk about how irresponsible sportbike riders are. He hit you where it hurts now give him a dose.

You guys have no idea how the "stupid asshole" factor has increased with the HD crowd this year. I'm serious. Stories to come. No schitt, a bunch of us had made a run and were sitting at the overlook when I overhear a guy on a HD talking to another guy riding HD. He say's, "I'll give you a tip, don't give an inch to these crotchrocket riders, hold your line, right down the middle". I was actually shocked at the attitude because this guy had just nodded and said hello when I got off the R1. So I leaned over so that only he and the other guy could hear and said, "That's allright asshole, if you don't give it, we'll just take it." He just rode off. Ned, sorry we only got to meet and not hang out. Take the guy for all he's got. Hope to see you next year. Keep us up to date on the insurance/legal battles and good luck with it. PG

On the way out Sunday morning when we left the CROT to head up the Gap I told my wife to hand me the digital camera. She asked why and I told her: I'm gonna drive across the double yellow line everytime I see a Harley and snap a pic of their "OH SHIT" faces :scared and start my own little collection. :lol

sorry to hear about your bad luck Ned keep your spirits up

Hey Ned, glad to hear your spirits are up and you are on the road to recovery. I remember the time you did a gap trip with the messagenet. I was on my old blue 02 R6 and was spooked and backed way off on one of the rides, you hung back with me and told me to ride at my comfort level, just wanted to thank you again for looking out for the novice rider :) DoZZ

Thank goodness for my cat like reactions and mad riding skilz that saved me:sing: . Recovery is going as well as could be expected for an old guy:confused: . I almost look normal with a walker! Each day shows some improvements in mobility, the swelling is going down a little and the bruising is starting to fade a little. A motorcycle ride sure would make me feel better but that won't be happening for a few months at best. Yall be safe out there.

Glad to hear that you are healing up, Ned. I swear, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Those damn harleys were pitiful this year. I hope you sue the guys socks off... he must be a real tool if he acted like that after he managed to hit one of the safest gap riders out there. Definitely keep us updated... looking forward to hanging out again!

The bike was totaled amd I bought it back. I hope to rebuild it.......... I hope you do! I had 2 red/white 98s and I still miss that color. I didn't have the opportunity to get to know you this year, but I did catch you on the way up the ramp at CROT in your situation. Me, "Ned can I help you up the ramp?" Ned, (VERY matter of fact) no." I love that spirit my friend.

Not sure how much spirit was involved:) Went to the ortho doc today and got good report. Seems I'm doing better than expected, incision is healed and clean, screws still screwed, plates still plating and bones still boning! Got my bump up to Advance group and a set of crutches. Even though they said that I looked like a natural on the walker:rock . The swelling and brusing continues to improve each day.It will be 4-6 weeks at best before I can load up the bad leg with full weight. I'm thinking about starting a spiinning or stationary bike program to get the knee loose and to keep the muscles toned. Thanks for everyones help and encouragment along the way.

ned, glad to see you are doing better and improving a bit each day. hope to see you back out and at it before too long. i know the sitting and watching is no fun. although i will say you had some great looking help while at the store. sad to say i won't be around next summer. we are moving to michigan a year earlier than expected so this time next summer i'll be in the traverse city area. where it's nice and cold 6 months or 7 months of the year

Awesome news Ned. I told ya you would be giving up the walker to crutches in a few weeks. Keep working at it, but don't over do it too. Will you be doing any physical therapy do the road?

Glad to hear you're doing ok Ned. Also remember, I am in Michigan too like the asshole who hit you. IF YOU NEED ANYONE TO contact him just SHOOT me a pm and I will get in touch with HIM. All I need is his name.:sing:

Four weeks today and I sure miss riding my bikes! Stilll have about 5-6 weeks before I can put weight on the leg so I'll be crutching around for a while yet. So far so good with the healing process..... Got my copy of the accident report from THP and other rider was not issued a ticket of any kind. It did say on the report that he contributed to the accident. so there is no question that the liability is on him. Still stinks that you can cross the yellow line, ride in a reckless and dangerous manner, cause a serious accident and get a free pass on tickets from THP. Ridesafe everyone!!!
