Default Rider down, April 5, 2006.

In Hudson/Spring Hill, right in front of SKY Powersports(US19 & Little Rd.), my friend Grey went down. He drives a 2005 Silver/Black CBR 600RR. Apparently, a couple buddies of his were standing outside of SKY as Grey left the stop light, he popped it up in 2nd, and as he passed by on US19, he used his left hand to wave, and instantly went down on the left hand side from a 60-70mph top 2nd gear wheelie. He was wearing a Helmet, leather jacket, gloves, shorts, and shoes. He is definitely alright, but when I went up to the hospital to see him, they wouldn't let me in because he was under going X-Rays, and then they immediately put him into surgery. From what I heard from everyone at the hospital, you could see the bone in his knee. A huge chunk of flesh was ripped right out. His right shoe also fell off during the slide, and you could see the bone on the inside of his right foot. He has road rash here and there, but thank God he was wearing a helmet with atleast some protection. He is alright, Grey is a great friend. Everyone told me that he said he learned his lesson, etc. His bike, on the other hand, well I haven't seen it yet, but from what I heard, it sounds to be annihilated, with the frame also being bent. Well, I still hope he is doing alright, I just spoke with a friend about an hour ago, they got to go in there and see him after the surgery, and he said that Grey is doing alright.



I'm only posting this because a friend said this while we were waiting in the hospital, "How much you wanna bet, Jeremy is going to post this on TR, because he is a TR whore."

So what the hell I posted it.



I'll see if I can get some picture's of the bike within a couple days.
