Default Accident in the Twisties

On Tuesday Rusty and his wife Donna went riding by themselfs to get Donna some more exiperance away from the crowd. On their way back off the Blueridge Parkway Donna had a accident on the way down the mountain on US 276. She was transported to the Hospital for treatment. She suffered a broken shoulder blade and a small bone on the shoulder as well as a black eye and a cut above the eye. The bike sustained damage and was towed to the motel. Needless to say she could not ride it back to Fl in the shape she was in. Poorboy( Paul) jumped in and borrowed a truck and trailer to haul the two bikes back to south FL.

We have some money left in the crew acct from the rally and I propose that we give it to Paul to offset the cost of hauling the bikes back. If anyone want to contribute to help please make a paypal gift to hdflcrew@gmail.com at paypal.

I agree with using the money in the FL Crew account for this worthy cause, and am sending some additional funds to the Fl Crew paypal account at hdflcrew@gmail.com.

I hate to hear that. Hope she feels better soon and gets that bike fixed and gets back on.

Even though I am only in honorary double secret probation status I will be sending some $ that way in a couple of weeks when I get paid again.

I would propose we take up a 'coilection'....and use the other funds to cover a shortfall.
I don't do paypal, so Paul...(if that is your REAL name)....PM me contact info, last name and address....I will mail a check.
I think that the other funds were collected for a purpose, and should be used as such.
A thousand bucks? ....I pledge forty bucks and challenge other Crew members to match it, or 'better' it
(show how easy it is to help!).
Paul I need your phone number also in case I break down near Orlando and need a tow...
