Ron McCoy in hospital

[Tiger]

:) I had the pleasure of having a wee chat with Ron today...my first 8)

knowing Tiger, he was probably asking Ron what he needs to get his beautiful (so I've heard) Vision back up to snuff...

... send me a pm if you need something I might have

:) Nope...but I will be quite happy to help Ron out, if I can.

What a terrible event. It's probably best that Ron doesn't remember.

Get well fast!

Thanks again for the good thoughts and wishes guys. fear not for the #1 Vision as I was aboard # 2 while #1 is undergoing some upgrades once again. I had the great pleasure of chatting with Tiger this afternoon, the high point of my day so far. # 2 doesn't appear to be too badly damaged, though I've only seen pictures so far. No ill wishes to the dog who suffered much worse than I, just wish we had met under different circumstances. Poor thing was probably abandoned. Lucky, the standard poodles I have been exceptional dogs. Once again, thanks guys.

Ron,

I'm very glad and thank God that you are here to "post" your thanks for all the well wishes.  I too am glad that you are ok and healing well and I'm very relieved that you were not more seriously injured.  Its a scary thought that it was so long before anyone came across you.  For us healthcare professionals, that "golden hour" is the most critical time.  The further a trauma victim goes beyond that, the more rapidly the situation can decline.  You are blessed that you are still here.

Heal well and quickly.

David

Wow.   Ron,  very sorry to hear about your  accident but I'm glad you are on the road to recovery. Please know that your many friends are thinking of you and your family and praying that all goes well.  Please let us know how you are doing and let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
best wishes, Vic

Ron, glad to hear you will hopefully ride again, I sure enjoyed meeting you at the 25th anniversary ride.

Dogs, cars and bikes, I still remember my first motorcycle (that I owned) a 66 yamaha twin jet 100, summer of 1969. My brother in law takes my sister around the block, just one block, wipes out a dog, somehow they don't get very hurt and I don't think the bike got very damaged. He was once a marine, he probably got the dog before it got them. But, in the day light, expected and I'm sure only 15-25 mph, a lot different than your situation!

Well, hope you and Lucky are both getting better!!!   

[Ron_McCoy]

I'm walking with no cane or walker now and doing therapy already. I see the trauma doctor Tuesday.
Hopefully I'll get out of this neck brace soon. Thanks for the good wishes again. Emails, Phone calls and visits from friends have really helped.

[darkvision]

Excellent!  Great progress, thanks for keeping us posted.  We'll keep those prayers going.
all the best   Dark V

Glad to hear your on the mend!
Be sure to post a list of parts you need when possible.
Anything I have that you need is yours.
All the best.
John

Wow - I go away for a while to tend to close family health concerns and it sounds like the whole ROV family is having troubles!

Sorry to hear about the accident, Ron.  Would have posted sooner if I'd known!  Glad you are on the mend - even though it could take some time.  Bones heal & chicks dig scars . . .  ;)

Take care & my best to Sharon.

Thanks again my friends. Saw my bike yesterday afternoon. Amazingly little damage considering the damage to me. Fairing and instruments are toast. Left footpeg mount bent severely, dent in left side of tank, ground area on left muffler. We must have parted ways early. I haven't tried to start it yet,but it looks like you could ride it home. I went to the doctor yesterday and apparently I'm doing really well, but it looks like three more weeks in the body and neck braces.

[VisionMeister]

Ron,
I've seen what you can ride home (remember Ebbetts pass).
Glad to hear you are doing better.
No Spring ride this year, I've got my Vision down for major service and need probably another month to have the time to complete it.
Dave just completed an engine swap with a low mileage donner. Did you see his post about hooking up with the Classic Harleys and Indians at Mariposa?
Hope to see you later this summer.

[mdskinner731]

glad to hear your doing good!!! dunno how i can help but if i can be of any assistance let me kno :o

[glennw]

Had a great visit with Ron and Sharon this past weekend.
Except for those two damn braces (and the bread) I would have never known he wrecked..
Very Good to see!

[Coil Coyle]

It sounds like your doing much better than after your Oklahoma City dirt track crash, Ron. Remember that the potassium from lettuce, not the calcium from milk was what bone growth needs.
I look forward to seeing your carb linkage on #1.
We'll be down to visit in October.
;).

 Got the neck and body braces off today. I start therapy on the neck tomorrow. Really feels good.

[supervision]

 That's good news

[Tiger]

 8) SUPERB news Ron...You'll be back in the saddle in no time ;)

[Lucky]

[Ron_McCoy]

I haven't started tearing it down yet, but I should have plenty ofparts to put it back together. Thanks
