We just found out by being alerted via e-mail from Bill Hagan. This is one of those things we don't imagine happening to anyone close. Suzanne and I visited with Wayne and Vicky last Sunday in Little Switzerland, NC when they rode up (in the Mustang) for one evening, and we stayed all week. True to form, Wayne sent a text suggesting how to fix a gas leak on my EV. Most folks in the Guzzi community knows how willing he is to help with our motorcycle woes. He urged me to drop the EV off on the way home from the mountains. Maybe that would have kept them at home this afternoon!

I'm not worried about him now; he's conscious and talking. Vicky is the big concern.

Anyone who has first hand information please keep us all posted.

Just catching up with the Guzzi world and see this at the top of the feed.

Terrible news -- especially for Vicky.

Thoughts and prayers from Chicagoland for both of their recoveries.

Best,

Here's hoping it works out in the best possible way.

Just terrible and the main reason I don't ride over to the dinner every month, too much traffic. Been praying non-stop since I read this thread.

Prayers and Best Wishes for both to recover fully.

Prayers of healing for Wayne and Vicky, for strength to the caregivers, bless and protect all of us from harm in this community.

Darren Williams · « **Reply #102 on:** November 28, 2016, 09:43:37 AM »

Reality check here. Even if the driver had insurance, I'm sure it's $$$ limits will quickly be exceeded and the major costs will fall back on the victim.

Life is full of ups and downs and it hurts to see people we care about suffer. Show of support for them and their family are a good indication of how well Wayne and Vicky are thought of, and of this community as well. Best wishes for them to heal quickly and many thanks for the many friends they have here.

Prayers go out to Wayne and Vicky to their quick recovery over this tragic event in their lives.

Yes, but.

In Georgia, as my brother learned as a result of his unfortunate encounter with a woman driving a minivan

, your uninsured-motorist coverage on your motorcycle policy is, or at least can be, combined with your auto policy's coverage. One of the few "good news" items that came out of that accident last December.

Hoping that coverage situation is applicable to Wayne and Vicky. I will be down there next week and, with my brother who is now an unintended expert in such things, will if needed assist in seeing what can be done.

That is "stacking" but I don't know if you can do it between carriers. I have my cars with one company and motorcycles with another for example. I do know that I can stack my two motorcycles policies with Progressive however and since Wayne has two bikes he should be able to at least stack those.

It remains that un/under coverage is the most important

Ah. Good point, George.

My brother did/does have all vehicles with Progressive.

Thanks.

Horrible news. Great that a couple of you are in proximity and available to offer support to the Orwig's. Throwing my sentiments in with all assembled. Hoping things resolve quickly.

I stopped by this am about 10:45. Wayne had been in surgery since 7am and it was expected to go until noon.
I went to see Vicky and met her sister. she is still in a coma but has shown some signs of coming out of it. but she is very heavily sedated so I expect they will keep her in that state for a while.
I will try to stop by again tonight if not tomorrow.

Gino · « **Reply #112 on:** November 28, 2016, 01:48:15 PM »

I hope there's a positive outcome, we all take that risk but inevitably its some other idiots actions that cause us pain. Get well soon

Well, Wayne has looked better-- Body looks pretty beat up. I got to the hospital bout 3 he was well awake and uncomfortable. He hasn't been able to see Vicky yet but may soon. He will be on 1 leg for a while till the bones heal. Family was coming in so I split.

Have been off the forum for a while and saddened to hear that Wayne and his wife were in an accident. Hoping for the best possible outcome for everyone. Thanks to those nearby who are checking on their condition and offering support.
