    So glad to hear your father is doing ok, we were there when he crashed. He looked pretty rough and we have been thinking about him all week. Continued prayers for him and your family as he recovers.

    I am randy’s daughter. He was riding down the road and blacked out. He is the safest driver I know, unfortunately his body took over and thanks goodness he survived. Also, unlike many motorcycle drivers, my father wears a helmet. He has had surgery and is doing really well.

    If a person is going to ride a motorcycle/scooter on public roads they must assume that everyone operating an automible is both blind and out to get them. Many of them are (both)! The excuse “I didn’t see him” doesn’t hold water. They didn’t “see” because they were not looking! Others like to play a game called “Run the biker off the road”.
    Wishing a full recovery for Mr Gilberry and glad an automobile wasn’t involved this time.

    Glad to hear he lived. So often motorcycle accidents end in tragedy. I’ve recently aquired a scooter (49cc) and it scares the beans out of me how close people pass. At least once a week I come close to being hit or run off the road. Please, pay attention to motorcyclists. Glad to hear he’s going to live. Hope his arm is ok.
