One of my dealers son went down and is in the hospital. Took a car to the head on an entrance ramp.
Dave owns South Side motorcycle company outside of Chicago. He's one of the best guys in the industry so this is sad to hear. His son is alive but has some head injuries to which I don't know the extent.

Now the touching part of the story. His daughter, without Dave knowing, set up a go fund me page. Dave didn't even know what a go fund me page was. In a matter of a couple weeks Dave's customers raised $20,000.

Dave was speaking to another shop owner that he helps out from time to time and said to him " How am I going to pay all these people back?"
Shop owners reply "Dave, I think they are paying you back for everything you've done for them.

That is awesome to hear how his customers are supporting him, Mark. Praying for a full recovery for his son.

all the tests came back negative, just one of those things with getting older. she has to check back with her neurologist before she can return to work. She herself in an RN so she's been researching everything but no real answer as to why it happened. She's home now, still a tiny bit weak in her right leg but she walked into the house without any help

Who in hell can live on that kind of money, Lou?

I want the 'letch' position where I can ogle and grope the coeds at about 275K a year.
