Todd was in an accident

Postby falcor » Wed Dec 14, 2011 11:53 am

Everyone,

This morning around 4am I was in contact with Gretchen, Todd's wife, while he was still in surgery following a serious accident he was involved in near San Diego. Todd was the passenger of a car that was apparently struck by an oncoming vehicle that came into his lane.

As you can imagine, Gretchen has a few things to deal with currently and Todd will probably not be online until at least the new year. I would ask, on behalf of Todd and his family, that everyone offer a bit of understanding during this time while they collect themselves and Todd hopefully recovers to his full form.

I will be placing a similar message in his auto reply for his email address. In the mean time, if you would, please contact me directly frank@guzzitech.com if you need assistance with the website / forums. I can pass-on information to Todd via Gretchen, but I would ask that we all keep that limited to things that absolutely can't wait until at least the 1st of the New Year.

I am sure, just as I am, everyone is worried about Todd and wish him a quick recovery. As of the phone call last night, Todd did not sustain any life threatening injuries, but does have multiple complicated fractures in his arm and leg that required immediate orthopedic surgery. With Gretchen's permission, I will try to keep everyone apprised of his recovery.
I make GuzziTech go... I fix things. PM me if you find something that isn't working right.

I might be out riding my bike, or turning a wrench, or practicing my motorcycle zen.

Warmest wishes for full & speedy recovery!
Seems this year has not been the best of Todd, may the new one be better.
Michail,

Double Bugger!
Isn't that 2 accidents in one year?
I'd rather ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow. But the older I get the faster I was.

Here are pictures from the crash. He was in the front passenger seat, and suffered the most injuries. Todd is recovering in hospital, and we hope he is out sometime Friday, maybe early next week.
