thanks!!

And when she says broken neck, he isn't paralyzed or anything, he just cracked one of his cervical vertebrae (probably one of the processes). I'll let even know how he's doing after I get the call from his mom when he is out of the OR.

Thanks goes out to everyone who helped today, whether it was with him, or bringing us drinks while we waited for a ride, helping us load up the truck (Special thanks to that guy's wife for driving up there) and then unloading it at my apartment. I don't think he's going to fix it, or ride anymore, but we will see. His parents told me to throw it in the dumpster, but I'm not going to do that. He can take care of it.

And I read somewhere that the guy who didn't get injured, his bike was more damaged...no way, dan's bike was mangled. the only thing untouched seemed to be the frame.
