I was getting ready to make a joke and when i read the article definetely changed my mind. Very sad story, Cant believe the end result from that.

Very sad for sure. I see they have a donation link set up for individual donations, but maybe something could be set up through 3WW so members could make a donation to him to cover his medical costs. It would certainly help a fellow off roader and be good PR for the 3 wheeling community. Mods?

What they don't tell you in there is what type it was, there are alot of bad, "bugs" floating around out there. I almost had the same out come about 4 years ago, broke my leg and the holes where the bones came out got infected with staph and strep, neither of which is harmful in small doses, it's everywhere, we carry it on us just about all the time, but it will do it's thing when given the opportunity. I now have a very ugly left calf/shin, but am thankful to have a leg. :beer
