Get well soon

As we enter the holiday season I wanted to give a shout out to our member in South Africa (and former BOTM entrant) Howardhb. I have just heard from Howard that earlier this year he got "taken out" by a car running a red light. Howards ELR tribute was a mess and he has been recovering from a dislocated shoulder and broken leg (he is thankful it wasn't worse) but true to form the bike and Howard are on the mend and will be back out there in the new year. I salute your resolve sir - be well
