RE: Jess E. Miller

We are awaiting news from Jess's family on Jess's condition to send out to everyone but have received no additional information. I thought it was appropriate to share this with everyone in our HOG Group-please see  Pam's email below:

 

This is what we know so far, Jess was transported to River Bend Hospital in Eugene from Mercy Medial Center with facial/head injuries.  They were waiting for the swelling in his face to go down before attempting surgery. A majority of his injuries seemed to be in his face and head.

 

Jess was riding with Frank and Rex on Roberts Creek Rd Friday afternoon.  As they were negotiating a corner he hit some sand/gravel which laid the bike on it's side and he slide over an embankment through the blackberry bushes down into the ditch between two trees and landing face forward onto a large bolder at the bottom of a culvert in the creek. The drop was approximately 15 ft, his novalty helmet flew off after being dented  and landed about 7 ft away from where he did. His bike is totaled and was picked up by Clyde from Glide with a crane boom lifting it from the creek bottom.  Paremedics from Green were there in 5 to 10 minutes. Frank and Rex called immediately and help  was able to get there in short order. He was transported to Mercy Medial Center and after examination of the injuries and stabilizing him was sent to River Bend Hospital. 

 

I am contacting the hospital today to see if we can get in to see him tomorrow and  will let everyone know how he is as soon as we have any information or confirmation of his condition.

From the News Review.

A Sutherlin man was injured Friday after loose gravel on Circle Star Lane in the Roberts Creek area caused him to lose control of his motorcycle.

Jess E. Miller, 43, went over an embankment and into a creek during the accident which occurred at about 2:54 p.m. 

He was transported to Mercy Medical Center with possible head trauma. Miller was no longer listed as a patient at Mercy Saturday, and no other information about his status was immediately available.

Yachats Overnight Ride HOG

Hello Everyone,

This is a reminder the Yachats overnight ride is  April 17th returning home on the 18th.   Last year we had a great turnout and a fantastic time.  The action, including Terry Storm giving a chef's lesson on how to BBQ a hot dog, will take place at the Yachats Inn.  Chris Mooney has assured me she will be bring a refreshment bar and has been working on some new libations for us to try. 

I just spoke with Jerry at the Inn and booked a room.  They still have rooms available and are giving off-season rates for the date we will be there.  So, please call the Inn and make a reservation for this event, you won't want to miss the fun.  The telephone numbers are 541-547-3456 and 888-270-3456.  Of course you are free to stay anywhere you like, however who wants to miss Terry's cooking lesson?

Hope you can make it.

Mike
