Jim @ TFOG Down

[Jmetz]

Jim went down yesterday.

Taken from another board.


Yesterday morning Jim got in an accident on the way to work. The brief details that I got were that a car pulled in front of him on I-70 then laid on the brakes, Jim tried to stop but ended up under the car.

I heard that he has a broken pelvis and some other injuries, but should recover fine.

If anybody on here has a bike in his shop right now, don't worry. Mike is taking care of things with the help of some of Jim's friends.

Heal up quick Jim, and may the schwartz be with you!

[Ezzzzy1]

Im sure he will heal up well but a broken pelvis is no joke.

Jim is a good guy and I would support any effort to help in any way.

[tecknojoe]

Damn Jim, glad it wasn't worse. I'm about to swing by TFOG this morning

[rforsythe]

Assuming he's in the hospital somewhere?

[Terid]

Jim is at Denver Health on Bannock. I believe he has a surgery scheduled today, so no word on visitors yet. Fred, Brandon and Scott were picking up his bike this morning.

Keep him in your thoughts and I would guess we'll have an update later today.

[Lomax]

So sad to hear this. My Prayers and best wishes go to Jim and all those around him. Heal up quickly and completely my friend.

My roommate told me about the accident last night, he saw it on his way to work yesterday. Heal up quick Jim! You know we're here for you if you need anything.

[Repsol a095]

Sorry to hear this. Heal up, and please tell Jim that we can help with anything that he needs.

[Jmetz]

Jim is a good guy and I would support any effort to help in any way.


You know we're here for you if you need anything.

Yes. Please let us know if anything is needed personally or at the shop.

[Scer]

Oh man.... Definitely not fun. Sorry to hear!! Hope he has a speedy and good recovery.

Heal on healas

[Sean]

Dammit! Jim heal up! If there's anything I can go from a distance, let me know. In the future you should stay away from drivers, they're dangerous. :up:

[birchyboy]

Heal up quick!

[madvlad]

We're here for ya Jimbo, heal up quick!

[Bueller]

Sorry to hear Jim, best of luck with a full recovery.

[#1Townie]

Heal up bro!!

[dirkterrell]

Wishing you a good recovery, Jim. And if there is something I can do, come into the shop for a little while everyday and sweep the floors, or whatever you need, give the word.

[Matty]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Jim. As like everyone, if you need any help, don't hesitate.

[~Barn~]

Damn... Sorry to hear this news. =\

[kingtut]

I've never had the pleasure of meeting Jim. I am however aware of the value he brings to this club and riders in general.

Prayers for a smooth surgery and recovery...

[Wrider]

I'm with kingtut, never met the guy but have ordered a few things from him and definitely understand his value...

If I need to come up from the Springs to help out with anything, let me know...

[asp_125]

Damn, Jim! Heal up quick. Let us know if you need any help at the shop or anything.

[Hoot]

Hoping you heal up quick Jim!

[SloBlue]

Best wishes Jim.

Very sorry to hear of your off. I guess that's why they say, "It's not if, it's when." Get well quickly and get back to your life. I always appreciate that when you participate on this forum, you add something positive when you add anything.

I need to replace the front tire on my 'hawk, so in a month or so, I'll expect to see you at the shop! :)

[BC14]

Hope for a speedy recovery, Jim.

[Nick_Ninja]

Get well soon Jim!

[Grim2.0]

Heal up fast Jim there's cold weather waiting to be ridden in!!

[The Black Knight]

Bummer, get well soon :up:

[salsashark]

Yikes... hoping for a speedy recovery!

[AOK303]

Oi Hope its a speedy recovery

[PunyJuney]

+1 on everyone's wishes for a speedy recovery, and anything you need just holler!

[FZRguy]

Damn Jim, sorry to hear. Like others have said, if you need help with stuff I am close.

[Clovis]

Sorry to hear about Jim, how scary! Glad to know he's expected to make a full recovery.

Best wishes and get well soon!!

[sloridr]

Jim I'm sorry to hear this news. I pray for your fast recovery!

[kalibra]

Get well soon Jim, sorry about the drivers .

[jrthomas6]

Best wishes on a speedy recovery, Jim!!

[vort3xr6]

I am considering doing a BBQ benefit and silent auction with all proceeds going towards Jim's recovery and to help cover any expenses he will incur for not being in the shop.

Is this something you all would be interested in attending and donating for? I want to do this for Jim, but need to make sure the interest is there before I post it up!

[Penadam]

I'd go.

Jim, hope you heal up quickly.

[longrider]

I will be there as long as it is on a Sunday.

Jim, get better fast.

[Wrider]

I'm in. Would prefer a Saturday but can do a Sunday if necessary.

[madvlad]

If its a sunday I'm in

[longrider]

If most would prefer Saturday then do it, I just work on Saturday so Sunday is my only option

[Bashed]

As a person who has had a difficult injury with pelvic damage and a complete hip replacement, I feel for you Jim.
First and foremost, take your time healing up, and best wishes for a successful surgery.
Second, don't talk to any auto insurance people without consultation.
Third, I'm out of town but will be willing to help fund anything for Jim.
Just let me know what and where.
Best wishes Jim!
Bash

[Ghosty]

Prayers for a good & healthy recovery, sorry to hear this! Pelvis ouch, poor guy. Hope the offending cager burns in hell.

[Drano]

Get well soon Jim. :)

[PunyJuney]

I'd be willing to help with a benefit any day.

I just got this update from Becka:

"He is still in the hospital but out of ICU. The second surgery did not go as well as we would have like. He will be in the hospital for at least a few more days."

I mentioned that there is an open discussion about doing a benefit. She said that Jim thinks that this is very nice of everyone and would be greatly appreciated.

[Matrix]

Sucks! Get well soon Jim!

[Spongebutt]

Quick update: My wife, Teri and a couple others are getting some meals prepped for Becka, so she'll have less to deal with going back and forth. Got a great picture of a piece of his adipose tissue on the edge of the bike rack from picking his bike out of impound yesterday (size of your little finger tip). Bike is pretty well done for, and Jim is cranky (hungry, no food before surgery.)

More updates as things go on. Keep the positives heading his way.

[vort3xr6]

Everybody please see this thread.

Never had the chance to do business with Jim, but I will do my best to make it.

Get well soon.

[Sully]

Sorry to hear this :( .. best wishes for a healthy and speedy recovery!

[Vance]

Adding to the sentiments that this is never good to hear about a comrade!
Heal fast Jim!!!

[G35CO]

Very sorry to hear that. Get well soon!

[Chris]

THAT SUCKS, TFOG are great guys, wish him the best

[Sean]

Has anyone talked to Jim? I'm curious about an update on his condition or how the surgery went. t.i.a.

[PunyJuney]

Last surgery went better. He's out of ICU and last night they had him up walking with a walker. He's looking forward to getting out.

[madvlad]

Nice!

[Mother Goose]

Good to hear!

[Sean]

Thanks for the update. :up:

[PunyJuney]

I talked to Becka about an hour ago and they had just decided to release Jim from hospital captivity tonight. I'm sure nothing will make him feel better than sleeping in his own bed :)

[rforsythe]

Just when I was planning to streak his room tomorrow... Glad to hear he's going home!

[asp_125]

Good to hear.

[Slo]

I heard about this accident and didn't know who it was. Sorry to hear...heal up quick and let me know if you need anything!

[TFOGGuys]

Thanks to one and all, the outpouring of concern is a little overwhelming! I'm home resting uncomfortably on about a 6-7 inch gash in my right buttock(let the brain damage jokes begin), a chip fracture of a part of my pelvis that the docs say I really don't need, an apparent spleen laceration that nobody told me about until I got my discharge paperwork, and a new understanding about how health care works in the country. More on that later when I have the energy for a good rant...

Good to hear you're on the mend and that it wasn't as bad as most of us thought :-)

Glad you're healing up Jim! Be sure to get lots of penicillin. :D

[birchyboy]

Heal up quick!

I think you live in Aurora. If you need any help around the house while you're healing, hit me up with a PM and I can lend a hand.

[~Barn~]

Glad you're back home, Jim.
