I'm in Hershey, but can't get out of work. Any other PA'ers up around I-80 that can help a fellow rider? Best wishes and prayers Brian!

What time is his official 50 hour mark?

hmmm... if memory serves me he left at 12:53pst so that's 3:53est so it 50hrs would be 5:53pm   however, when I talked to him, he felt it was irrelevant...had no desire to get back on the bike at the moment..... we shall see.

I'm glad he wasn't so exhausted that his judgement failed him.  It'll be good to hear he's back home safe and sound, even w/o another scalp hanging from his belt.

Just so you all know, the CAT joke is spreading wildly thru PA....hehehe

Right now he's at a local ER, getting wonderful care...being re-hydrated as we speak.....NOt sure yet when he'll be released. 

He's feels badly for putting everyone thru this ordeal.....and wanted to say THANKS to you all!!

I'm glad to hear that Brian is alright and getting the care that he needs.

 :thumbs:

If he ever thinks about doing this again we'll have to have him fitted for a different kind of jacket.

Yeah...he owes us big time for what he's put us through... ;D...I almost said that without laughing.
I'm glad he is OK and in good hands, and I'm glad for you that he's made that never again promise.
Thanks for the updates Andrea.

As far as I'm concerned, he made it.   I'm glad he is ok. or will be.  If we gave Wyoming to Canada (if they'll take it) he'd have made it with miles to spare.

HA!   So you think!!!  The battery is dead in the tractor...I bought a new one, but it's sitting there waiting for his return.... :o
If the neighbors don't like it, I'll invite them over to do it for me :rotflmao:

So glad he stopped and is gettin' some fluids. At 42, I cant begin to fathom pulling off that ride. Brian can take pride in the fact that he as already kicked the CC50 in the buttocks...On a side note, I sure hope the cat joke makes it down here to Hershey!

He's good, says Hi to All!  He'll be getting released around 1 and will be taking a slower (less highway) route home.   YAY!!! 

Thanks for all the prayers!! They must have worked!!   :thumbs:

Have him turn the Spot back on, we have all become so addicted to ride eavesdropping that we'll watch a slower
curvier ride as well!
