Rasta AKA Amin
Hey guys just wanted to let you know about our friend Amin. Amin, Demac, Spillski and myself went to Bikes Blues and BBQ last week in Arkansas. Thursday night after a great day in Fayetteville Amin went by his self to take some sunset pics. After his pics and on his way back on the 187 damn loop he hit a deer. He was going about 35 mph but still went down hard. When he called me I thought he was joking but of course he wasn’t. We met him at the hospital where we found out his collarbone was broken and hands were cut up pretty bad. Luckily he was geared up with leathers and a helmet. The helmet wasn’t in very good shape. After taking pic he didn’t put his gloves back on hence the reason for his hands.
Our focus changed from having fun to taking care of Amin and getting him and his bike home. Luckily he trailered down so we got his bike loaded up. David Falke and his wife Sara stayed at the same motel as us and offered to take Amin to Kansas City ( half way to his house). Then Mike (Spillski)came up with a plan for him and Denny ( Demac) to leave early Saturday morning and go to Amin’s home in Iowa rent a car and head to KC and pick Amin up and get him home. Amin’s Wife (Cecelia)joined them. I was Amin’s roommate and nurse. Go ahead and make fun of me but someone had to do it. Amin had surgery today on his collarbone and is resting at home right know. Denny and Mike made it home safe. Please DO NOT go on facebook and wish him well he doesn’t want certain people (his family) to know what happened. When he’s ready he’ll tell them his self.

Well that sucks but could have been much worse. Glad he is on the mend.
I am sure he is very thankful of all of you pitching in to help him out. Get well Amin! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Glad to hear he's on the mend! Deer and motorcycles don't mix very well.

OMG!! I tend to get a weary feeling when I see a story second hand. Thank God you're ok Amin!!
A good answer for when people tell that Jesus was trying to tell you something is; He wants me to get a new bike. :-):-):-)

Hey buddy, sorry for your mishap, but cheer up, I understand Trump is on his way to see you.

Thanks Framer for passing the word on. Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I am finally feeling better a day after the surgery. The first night was a bitch! Thank you to all my friends that made it work to get me home as well those that offered to help get me home. TC notified President Trump for me and he actually came to visit but I had already gone north. we will see the doctor on Monday and will hear what he thinks healing time would be. I think he told me after the surgery but I was so out of it, I didn't know if I was coming or going. Thanks to all that reached out by text,messages,phone calls. Your thoughts and prayers helped me make it so far. Thank you once again.

You look a little thin in that first pic, I think we need to head back to Mud Street Cafe and get some pie.
