Well wishes to them both, and a speedy, full recovery as well!

A WTF happened summary would be great when she has the time and energy.

OK, just got home... Lori went down there with Jordan and I. Heather is in good spirits, though doped up. She will have surgery tomorrow to put a pin into her leg to hold her femur together. She should be able to put pressure on it the next day - and will then undergo therapy to be able to walk.

Her father is fine.

She was out riding with her dad, they did just under 200 miles and were about 2 miles from home. A person went to turn into a gas station... LEFT TURN. Her father passed, the car turned directly into her. Femur broken, boots saved ankle, jacket and gloves took the hit for the upper body, helmet is swirly and did the job. Even with armor, the femur would have been snapped. Bike is totaled. Driver is fully insured - good thing, as she took her first flight in a helicopter.

They expect her to be out maybe Tuesday. I will probably go back down on Monday to check in on her.

I'm SO done riding on the street...

Yeah she really did seem ok considering what happened. I can't believe how fast they will have her back on her feet....literally. We took her some fun stuff to entertain herself with as she heals......

Anyone know how to mount a Schmeiser or an MP5 to handlebars?
