BARFer, Ozymandias thrown off Folsom St exit, lands on Clementina/1st. Get well soon!

That's one hell of a drop! Heal up soon Ozy.

Glad to hear he is already on a positive path to full recovery, truly remarkable.

Pretty sure someone can get his bike out for him, but you will need permission signed by him. Not sure the exact process, but with a signed auth and copy of his ID and reg, the tow company should release the bike to someone to take care of it for him.

They don't only care about the money.....you can take them $5000 and they wont release a vehicle to you that is not registered to you.....not without the proper paperwork at least. The tow company might not be liable for any damages to your bike....but they sure are liable if they release your bike to someone that doesn't own it without the reg'd owners permission.


.....last time I had a vehicle at the tow yard I just mailed them the signed title:teeth

I take a weekend off and come back to the craziest survival story I have yet heard in my life. Heal up, man!

Oz 40 years from now when one of your grand-kids falls out of a tree you'll be able to bring them great comfort with "Well, let me tell you about the time I got hit by a van, flew off a freeway overpass and fell on an SUV 40 feet down and crushed it."

:laughing :thumbup

 

[I'm OaklandLion]

me thinks this rider is one tuff mudder

Heal up Paul!

That's my project for tomorrow. I'll get whatever paperwork they want from Paul, and then take care of it. Can't have it sitting in some tow yard... and Paul doesn't need to be worrying about it.

I'll be in South San Francisco this afternoon with the truck, let me know if you need help.

I just got off the phone with Paul (Ozymandias) and it IS him. He's in a lot of pain, is in "critical but stable" condition in ICU at SF General. Pelvis, spleen, liver, kidney, shoulder... that was all I got before he had to get off the phone.
Please send all your prayers and healing energy his way... and yes, Paul is a veteran rider with decades of riding experience under his belt, and a good head on his shoulders.
Heal up fast, Paul... hugs!! But very gentle ones...

Will update further when I get more information.

I read about this over on AdvRider.

Im an out-of-stater (Az) here, just sending well wishes to Paul.

S.C.

 

[Z3n]

Holy shit, what a story...one for the grandkids for sure. I hope he heals up fast!

 

[cardinal03]

Can someone just confirm this - is this the first time in the history of the world that an SUV may have saved a motorcyclist's life? I mean, that's pretty fucking epic...

 

[budman]

Paul... wishing you the best. Hope that full recovery comes soon and all goes well.

I caught this on Sat. at the kids VB tournement and was glued to the phone reading it in a mix of shock and amazement. Gone again yesterday to watch the AFM guys down south so no chance to send my thoughts on it.

Completely amazing event and horrific I am sure. So cool to see so many folks giving the good vibes your way. I can honestly say you indeed are a miracle man.

my best,

:smoking

 

[limey]

If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know

It should be noted, however, that I am about as much use as a chocolate teapot, but still :rofl

Hope you are feeling better today Paul

 

[Nemo Brinker]

Wow, Paul, that is the most epic experience of motorcycling mayhem I may ever have heard.
May the long road to healing be a good one. Anyone organizing a BARF visit in Vallejo, or is it too soon?

 

[Idontdotrix]

too soon. he is still in SF

 

[ThumperX]

Nemo I'll be in when he gets moved :thumbup

 

[Yakoo752]

 

[Idontdotrix]

ok- update.

Paul says THANKS to everyone for the well wishes. he should be moved tomorrow to another hospital closer to home and may even have internet access so he can keep us up to date himself on how things are going.

his spirits are good and he certainly didn't injure his sense of humor- same wonderful guy

he knows we're all there with him.
