    Rider down!

    Hey all, just heard from Dbeardslee, apparently DGXSER crashed while out on his bike today (thought to call Doug BEFORE he called 911) it looks like he is going to be alright, he has a broken leg and some broken ribs. He is at University Hospital in Cincinnati, they are taking him into surgery now. I will give further updates as I get them. keep Don in your thoughts and prayers if you would please. have a nice day and ride SAFE

                      That's the suck.
                      At least there will be some riding left when he gets his leg back from the shop!

                        Well that was just not good to hear.

                        Let me know if you need any parts. Kidneys and fenders included. Get better cause wheelchairs suck.

                          Its always bad to hear about a rider going down... ESPECIALLY one of our own here at channel 11! Probably cant do much for you except pray.

                          Hope you feel better and are back on two wheels SOON! ( unless you are doing wheelies in a wheel chair, thats cool too.... hope you dont have to be in a wheel chair though..... cause that sucks like Ivan said..)

                            You're in my prayers DGXER! I'm glad you are going to recover. Let me know if theres anything me or my family can do from here in Georgia to help. I have a few parts when you get ready to rebuild. Not many but what I have is yours. I ve been there and bought the tee shirt. No fun sitting around waiting to heal. Nothing good on daytime TV either, so we'll plan on your recovery being a quick one
