Rider Down--need Help In Baja
Jacob Sherman, of http://www.motorcycleramblings.com had been on the road for four months. He took off from Brooklyn in May, headed up to Alaska, and was on his way to Argentina. He's been crashing on riders' couches along the way. I offered mine up and had the honor him staying with me for four days, sorting gear, working on his bike, etc. Sunday, I rode to Ensenada with him, had lunch, wished him luck, and we parted ways. He would spend the night there, and head to Mike's Sky Ranch or possibly San Felipe the next day. He made it to Mike's.
On his way out, yesterday morning, he dropped his bike and broke his leg in three places. Fortunately, a couple of good samaritans driving behind him got him and all his luggage back across the border. He's in Sharp Memorial. He goes into surgery (titanium installation) today at 1.
Only problem is, his bike's still sitting there (if we're lucky) , 4.1 miles down the dirt road on the way to Mike's, off Mex 3. Fork's locked over, and he has a padlock on it.
I'm BURIED at work and can't get down there--and I have no clue what to do about his bike. It is insured, but aside from that, I don't know what I can do to help. One thing I can do is post here. If you experienced Baja guys know what to do, or who to contact, let me know. You'd be helping me out, and a hard core ADV rider who needs it.
Thanks.
