NOTHING TO DO WITH SPYDERS
But, a friend and riding buddy of mine's nephew was in a serious MC accident early this morning in NH, two broken arms and a broken leg. He was wearing full gear, which we are convinced saved his life. He is badly injured, and is in his second surgery right now. No definitive prognosis as of yet. I would respectfully ask this community to keep this young man in their thoughts and wish him a full and speedy recovery. It is going to be a long, hard road for him, and any good vibes we can send his way will surely help. I humbly thank you all.

It happens to the best of us. I can honestly say I feel his pain! I'm 2.5 years into my recovery.... I'm pulling for him! When he gets well it might be time for him to come and join us ex-2 wheelers in the Y Factor Club.

AN UPDATE
I heard from my friend today about his nephew. His name is Joe Benedetto. He needs more operations on his right arm, and a plate in his leg. He is far from out of the woods yet. A gofundme page has been started for him to help cover what will no doubt be immensely expensive hospital bills. If anyone can find it in their hearts to make a small donation, the family would greatly appreciate it. Here is the link. I hope this doesn't violate any admin rules. Just trying to help a fellow human being.

Close enough Dave, and thank you. On a lighter note, Bob's avatar of Gort is way better than mine.

I don't know, but I assume that he does. His uncle, (my friend & riding buddy) tells me that it will be many months before he can return to work, so I'm thinking that he does have health insurance. In any case, with what the medical bills will be, considering the airlift from VT to NH, hospital stay (he is still there) multiple surgeries with more to come, recovery, PT, etc., he would most likely still be on the hook for 20% of the total, which will be a big number. And, why does this matter to you?
