Yuma - OldFart down, but not out!400 mile ride to and from the Yuma Prison Run. Comin' up the grade from Ocotillo, OldFart hit some wind while leaning toward the inside. His bike torqued as the rear end had trouble following the front end, like speed wabbles except on the frame from front to rear and not just the front end or the bars. Roy controlled the chaos as best he could until the bike threw him off. He rolled shoulder to shoulder, which was probably the best thing he could have possibly done to minimize his injuries. He shattered both shoulders and nearly ripped his wrist right off the bone. His wrist looks phenomenal after surgery. He goes in for both shoulders today. This kind of accident is what happens when man meets asphalt or anything else at speed. It doesn't stop us from living life and enjoying the hell out of the adventure. It's part of the risk and the shared experience.
