I keep telling Tex that there's easier ways to get a date with a nurse. Geez. When ya gonna listen, Bubba Earl? Besides, I saw her first!

Seriously though, this is terrible news. He hasn't broken that many bones at once since he thought he could fly off the roof. It must have been a stealth truck for it to sneak up on him unawares like that. Ken's a really alert kind of rider. I hope his assailant's insurance includes a lap dance with Wilma and some really good painkillers. That's because after Wilma, he'll need painkillers.

I think I've broken everything Beaver mentioned, but not at the same time. Trust Ken to economize and do them all at once instead of stretching them out over a lifetime. Kind of like his Costco run for injuries and rehab. I guess I'm going to have to stop puttering with the trike and get down there. He'll probably be needing help remembering security codes and when to water the submarine. Tell him I'll get this leading link invented and start out before the end of the week.

How's Wilson holding up?

Hell, I didn't even know that Texas Turnip was Ken Hand in disguise. I met Ken many years ago at a rally somewhere.

Speedy recovery Ken, thinking of you from down under.

Vagrant · « **Reply #33 on:** September 25, 2017, 03:57:28 PM »

Praying for a full and relatively pain free recovery.
tell him I'll do my best to have at least 1 cigar a day in his honor. Hell I like him enough to have a couple of shots of whiskey too.

Beaver...are you sure you guys want to go thru the effort of putting on a rally here while Tex is laid up. Send him my best wishes for a speedy recovery as well.

If it's too much to deal with considering you probably want to be with him instead of herding a bunch of Guzzisti cats running around!

Either way, I"m sure we'd understand!

Yes, the rally's still on! Can't let ken's good bread go to waste. Everything's all ready to rock and roll.

Get well Dolly. You've more miles to conquer.

Tex,

Heal well! I hate stories like this. Makes me feel how vulnerable we all are.

MotoMo · « **Reply #41 on:** September 25, 2017, 07:17:25 PM »

Sad news indeed. With Tex's head and heart intact, the rest won't be far behind! I wish you a speedy recovery sir... but, take your time and get yourself well.

Best Regards

Heal faster. Medicate as needed.

Damn, I wish him a speedy recovery!

SmithSwede · « **Reply #44 on:** September 25, 2017, 08:29:49 PM »

Folks, the rally is still a go. I'm sure Turnip does not want his current misfortune to turn people away from coming.

I'm not computer savvy. Is there a way we can electronically "link" Ken into the rally at certain times?

Dharma Bum · « **Reply #45 on:** September 25, 2017, 09:12:21 PM »

Sorry for your misfortune. Best wishes and prayers from Colorado.

johnr · « **Reply #46 on:** September 25, 2017, 09:22:57 PM »

Oh no! Not the best news to hear at all!
That is a serious tumble indeed! Did he actually hit the truck?

Anyway all the best for a speedy recovery. I wish there was something I could do.

Beaver · « **Reply #47 on:** September 25, 2017, 09:45:35 PM »

Yes, he did hit the truck, he thinks near the end of the bed. doesn't remember anything after that.

Hey, Ken's daughter brought a tablet up here for us to use. Maybe someone can figure out how to face time Ken.

Even I knew that Dave and I'm further away from Texas than you are!

And :1: on the speedy recovery. Heal well and fast.

Good to hear the helmet did it's job. Wonder if all the roadkill on the bike was able to protect the bike?

balvenie · « **Reply #53 on:** September 26, 2017, 04:16:39 AM »

A truck! That's terrible. Very sorry to hear of it. Wishing him the best

Kind of reminds me of my prang

Without the drugs, a thing like that would be no fun at all.
