Please keep forum member Gawarrior in your thoughts

I consider Chad a very good friend of mine and a great racer/control rider. I found out this morning that at the R1 forum convention, they took a day to go dirtbiking and he case'd a jump, breaking his back in 5 places.

please keep him and a speedy recovery in your thoughts please :up:

Oh crap!

I first met Chad at a trackday at Barber in 2006. I had just bought a 2006 R6 that I was going to race-prep for AMA supersport. I found myself dicing with this fast steet-guy - Chad. I was real disappointed with the R6, was going way too slow, never got used to that bike and sold it after Barber AMA that year.

But I spent alot of time with Chad that day, and talked to him about racing. I explained what he needed to do, and he followd my advice. Of course, as soon as he started racing he was FAST. I watched with amazement as he started winning Novice races, then trophies.

Every time I saw him at the track he always waved hello to me - I always felt kinda responsible for getting him into this. I even told him about the BBS and how to find it online.

I am gutted to hear about his accident. I have been there myself. I know pretty much what is going through his head right now.

Well, I dunno - I'd like to call him, or contact him somehow....anyone have any way of getting in contact? Perhaps its too soon. I know I was not quite fully able to process all my early visitors.

Chad, if you are reading this - then watch out cos I"m coming to find ya!

 

MarkB, your PM box is full

 

I know....its a long story...can you send to mark_c_brereton @ yahoo.com

Thanks!

 

Best wishes for a fast recovery

 

Heal up soon, Chad! do i need to send Matt Elliot to make you get better? Praying for ya bro!

 

The same Chad that bought my YZ450 Supermoto? Damn, if that's the case, tell him I send my best wishes. I'll notify Reuben, too...

If he needs anything, please feel free to contact me.

GREAT NEWS

I just got off the phone with Chad, and he is in great spirits.
By some miracle, despite breaking 5 vertebrae, and basically destroying one of them, he has no spinal chord injury. To have that much damage and not to have suffered an SCI is quite extraordinary.

Of course, this is a significant injury with 6 month recovery time etc, and of course it sucks, but Chad realizes how very lucky he is.

chad thanks everyone for their well wishes too :up:
