Denver Dan

Saturday a few of us (including Denver Dan) headed out to San Luis Obispo for lunch.

About 35 miles north of Ojai on HWY 150 Dan went into a tankslapper and highsided. He slid over 200 ft.

He broke his elbow, collar bone, ankle and thumb. He's going to be laid up for awhile but, thankfully no injuries to his head or spine! Dan will ride again!

Everyone at COC wishes him a speedy recovery!
Dan's bitchin' ride to the hospital in Ventura!
Dan's full face helmet and heavy leather jacket played a huge roll in protecting him from more serious injuries. PLEASE WEAR GOOD RIDING EQUIPMENT!

Geeze, the first time I met Dan, he broke his collarbone that night surfing his bike.

Just goes to show you...
when people say full helmets look geeky on choppers/cruisers, give'em the middle finger and also a link to this post.

I may ride only in jeans and a t-shirt in the summertime, but i always wear a full/flip-up helmet. It's your 'thinker' that needs the most protection, without it..your a legume.

Get well soon Dan, and congrats for the gear! ;)

Hey Dan , I hope you feel better soon . I've come off my bike a few different times through the years and I feel for you . That shit sucks . . . just keep the vicoden flowing and watch lots of " how it's made " it will hypnotize you into feeling better .
