Craig Vetter is a hero to motorcyclist's everywhere. He does it his way. Please tell him that we want to continue to press forward with the streamlining revolution and we hope he will encourage his Generals to keep the fuel economy challenges active even if he doesn't have the energy to make it to the events every time.

I thank God every day for my Parents health. Pop is 94, Mom is 90. Married 70 years this Feb.

Keep his (your Pops) mind occupied, a prayer is headed your way. Thanks for taking the time to give us a heads up.

regards

Thanks for the update Morgan.

Sorry to hear about the additional challenges he (and you) are facing. I'm sure that not being able to do the things he loves doing is frustrating.

I'm sure it's a constant challenge for both of you, but know that he really needs you and your assistance - whether he welcomes it or not right now.

Hang in there. It's a great thing you are doing for him. Hopefully the confusion will pass and he will be able to get back to being himself, and doing what he enjoys, again soon.

Also if he doesn't reply back to your email do not take it personally. There's a good chance he's a little confused and missed it or was unsure who you were and decided not to respond. He really does love getting emails, though, so thank you to anyone who sent him any.

Thank you Morgan for the updates, i only recently heard that he had even been in the accident. Reassure him that many people are praying for him, his full recovery and the rest of your family as all of you go through these times or trials and hardships. You guys are all like family, as most of us have read his entire Vetter Streamliner build log. Your Dad has truly been such an inspiration to so many of us and others around the world.

I also just purchased a 2012 CBR250r and was working on it to try and compete with all of you in this years Vetter Competitions. With so many years of excitement building until my recent purchase of the bike, now it all seems so pale compared to your family's situation. Although my build will continue, Our thoughts and prayers are all with you and your family as your Dad continues to heal and recover, which is so much more important. Psm 37:23-24

Yes, I got a private email recently from Craig about two months after I sent it. You can see it in quotes below.

"Hi Jim: It has been my wife, Carol who has been putting up a page about me - because I have not been able to:

http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/cr...ccrash/journal

I am still not back to normal… everything has been slow… but she is very good!

We’ll see what happens…

Thanks

Craig
"

Jim.
