On November 21 I was riding over Saddle Road on my way to Kona when I lost control of my motorcycle and crashed heavily. I was airlifted by helicopter to North Hawaii Community Hospital in Waimea where I was treated for a concussion, a laceration on my head, and various scrapes and bruises. The impact knocked me senseless and I have no memory of anything immediately after the crash until I woke up in the hospital bed 45 minutes later. My x-rays came back negative for broken bones and a CT scan showed no permanent head trauma and I was released after a few hours. The doctor commented that I seemed to be in pretty good shape considering the damage to my helmet and circumstances of the accident.

All in all I am alive, just a bit bruised and scratched up, my helmet is trashed and the face shield was ripped away, had I not been wearing it I would have certainly been killed; I haven't seen my bike yet, as its still in the tow yard, but I can imagine it's in bad shape.

Word travels fast so I just wanted to set the record straight, thanks everyone for your emails and calls. I'm doing fine, just resting up for a few days. Back on the air soon...
