Prayers up. Looks like he was seriously injured since he required helicopter evacuation. If he's smart, he'll join the Broken Angels Motorcycle Club as I did after I had a serious accident on Memorial Day 1988. The membership qualifications are simple: 1) having an accident bad enough to cause serious bodily injury (hence, the term "Broken Angels") and 2) permanently swearing off riding motorcycles.

From what I’ve seen over the course of my life, if somebody rides a motorcycle fairly regularly, they’re gonna get smashed up in some way or other.

I certainly understand the appeal of motorcycles, but never thought it was worth the risk.

Re: Broken Angels
What do you call a person who rides a motorcycle without a helmet?
An organ donor 😈

I see the older guys on bikes every day, and most don’t wear helmets. Do we have accidents? You betcha! There isn’t a week where we don’t. “Watch for Bikers”. LTC West is one of my fav’s, I wish him well, and a fast recovery. Someone should send him a Chick Fil A sandwich.

Some rarely use their turn signal,
some cut right in front of you after they pass you,
some follow too closely even when there’s no one else around.
When you do follow too closely
the person in front of you is controlling your car.

This sort of thing is why those machines have been called DONORcycles. It isn’t the bike or the rider’s fault. It’s just that in spite of the fun and pleasure of the riding, the machine offers NO protection in the case of a crash, especially being intentionally attacked by a auto or truck driver, as is the case with LtC West.

Yes, there are many who prefer safety and security to liberty and living fully.

The question is....... was the driver cutting him off attempting murder?
On a motorcycle, the congressman was vulnerable to assassination
