Thanks Dave, this is an awesome idea. I vote for "Its all good" Bikedog Memorial cache. This was one of his favorite sayings. Howling Wolf

Good gosh, I must have been at the hospital when he was brought in. Of course I cannot confirm that the following information pertains to Bikedog and so please know that the following comments are mere speculation. The reason I was at Scripps Memorial hospital was that my sweet bride and I took my ninety-two year old dad into the emergency/trauma unit this morning. We arrived at about 9:00 p.m. and stayed until my dad was taken to a room upstairs at about 7:00 p.m. We spent the entire day in the emergeny unit because, in part, the Scripps staff were preoccupied with an injured man that was brought in by helicopter. We sat in the emergency-unit waiting room beside a group of concerned family members and saw more of them arrive in a state of extreme anguish. We also saw the Scripps helicopter arrive with a man that they took straight-away into the trauma unit. We saw that some of the patient's clothing was torn away. As time went on we overheard a remark that the attending neurosurgeons didn't expect the patient to live and of course heard reactions from disdraught family members. It was a very sad and emotional scene. The Scripps staff were working diligently to pull him through. Harmon Harmon, you are correct. He was life flighted to Scripps La Jolla and was in the ER/Trauma room most of the day. He never regained consciousness. Between friends and family he had a throng of supporters by his bedside, in the lobby, and the ICU visitors lounge. The only good in this is that it was over in a blink of the eye, no pain, and he went out doing one of things he loved doing the most. Doug Dittrich (aka Howling Wolf)

Yes, he was life flighted to Scripps La Jolla today.

Bikedog down. I am extremely sad to report that Bikedog was critically injured in a motorcycle accident today and will not live through the night. For all of you who had the opportunity to know him, then your life is better for it. I personally had the chance to share many a weekend adventure with him and I will always remember him for the fun we had and the challenges we overcame. I will repost once the details of a memorial service are assembled. Howling Wolf
