DesertHog / Simon
« on: March 25, 2017, 12:55:27 PM »

This may be what you get for riding a BMW.   :nervous:   From his Facebook post:

With 260 miles to make Albuquerque heavy wind blew me into center ditch 16 miles east of Amarillo Texas. Very fortunate to get away with only five cracked ribs. Opening to be out of the hospital in two or three days. Looking forward to my return to Albuquerque.

Please send him prayers (if that's your thing) and good thoughts.

Damn, sad to hear. Hope he heals up nice and quick. I know all too well that that section of highway just plain sucks. Miles and miles of windmills and not a single damn windsock on the highway to give you a heads up.

Thanks for sharing Greg.  Hate to hear this but glad he's ok!
That must have been one heck of a wind gust to move that dude like that.

Contrary to popular belief larger people have more mass for the wind to hit, smaller frame people have less mass for the wind. Larger people = more area for wind to effect. I have felt the strong winds and the smaller people I was riding with were not bothered.

Get healed quick Simon. Prayers your way.

Prayers your way Simon, hope you feel better & get home soon.

Have been blown to the shoulder more than a few times out on the western plains.  It's a bad feeling and with sudden gusts/downbursts is very hard to impossible to maintain control.  Amarillo is a windy place usually. Dangerous sometimes.

So sorry to hear you went down Simon! Praying it's just the cracked ribs and that you'll be out in a couple days as expected so you can be home for your birthday! Gods sweet love and blessings Simon! Love ya man! :2vrolijk_21:

That part of the Texas Panhandle really sucks. High gusty winds always all the way to OKC. Hope you feel better soon my friend.

The weather's been crazy everywhere, so I can only imagine what the flats of Texas are like.  I'm glad he was so close to Amarillo.
I know about those desert winds.  Drove thru a dust devil with next to no warning that hurled a rock into my full-face helmet.  Sounded like a gunshot.  It startled me so bad I almost lost control.  I can only imagine what an unexpected straight line wind could do.
Get well soon, Simon!  Prayers are on the way!

Sorry to hear you went down Simon. The last couple days has been insane wind-wise across the south. Thinking of you and hoping you have a speedy recovery mate.

Cheers Tom

Get well Simon. 

Greatful you didn't get seriously hurt.  But those ribs will certainly feel like it's as serious as anything else.  Easy does it.

Nothing can describe riding 500 miles in "sideways winds" and then the gusts hit! So sorry you went down, Simon. Prayers for your healing and getting back home soon, brother.
