Met John and Larry a couple of years ago at the Arizona rally and was quite
taken by Johns wit and wisdom. Still have his card stating " Retired-but on
standby"

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

I'm sure he is a very decent guy and I hope the doctors are wrong in their prognosis. My thoughts are with the friends and family.

John crashed Saturday on Hwy 266, traveling west from 95 to 395 in route to the National Rally. Somehow, he lost control, left the road and hit a dirt berm that flipped the bike (as in cartwheeling) over and over again. The police maintain that no other vehicle was involved, but Jim is investigating this...as we speak. I was told the damage is to the T3-4 portion of his spine, which is classified as a broken back. The prognosis from the medical personal treating him is permanent paralysis from the waist down, with no control over bladder or bowel. He is however, awake (to a certain extent) but cannot speak. Jim said: "I've never saw so many tubes and wires hooked up to somebody in my life". That is what I have so far. I'm still unclear exactly where John is...I asked Jim twice and it sounded like the "UMC Trauma Center" (his cell phone was hard for me to hear) but did say it was on, or near Charleston Street in Las Vegas.
