atvluv Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 BTW, as per raptorroy- the guy that flipped was Dan from Powerhouse. He broke his 13th vertebrea. Hopefully he makes a quick recovery. If there's anything we can do to help, let us know, Roy. Our thoughts go out to him. OMG - I know him, but havent talked to him in a while..... what happened? - other than he crashed.... I'm gonna go by the house but wanna be prepared if its too bad. sh*t!........
EY3BA11 Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 looped it out... landed flat on his a$$ in a nutshell...
atvluv Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 looped it out... landed flat on his a$$ in a nutshell... Still walking though right? You know what I mean.... Someone's working in the shop right? I needed to have the carbs done anyways - I am sure they could use a few extra jobs, if they have someone to do them. Dont have cash to donate per say, but some things need to get done sooner or later anyways.

Dont have cash to donate per say, but some things need to get done sooner or later anyways. My SnapOn tool guy told me that Raptoroy told him Dan is walking around but with a walker. He is recovering "ok". He has some numbness in one of his legs. I don't know for sure about any other details... this is all info that has been passed down to me. My friend Brice (sandseeker) knows Dan pretty well and he told me all Dan's friends are helping out anyway they can at the shop and they all plan to hold a benefit of some kind for him in the near future.

Thank you. Tell Brice (he doesn't know me real well, but we've met a time or two - Dumont & Dan's house- his wife IS the reason I have a rail! She took me for my first ride and got me hooked) If there is any way we can help out we will! I am limited to Sat & Sun.'s as during the week - I dont get off work till 5pm, but my son just graduated and doesn't have a job yet (UGH!) and is willing to volunteer his time as well. Not exactly skilled labor - but willing none the less.

Vegas FX400 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 He's not working on them jsut yet( i believe ) I went down there last week and he is in a full back brace.. There is a couple of people workin on the bike's. Raptoroy is one of them. He does good work too....
SandBox_Kid Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I'll try again: What kind of services does Powerhouse provide? Bikes only? Rails? Tuning? Fabrication? I need some work done on my toys, but don't know if I can utilize his business.....
Vegas FX400 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 bikes and quads.... repair, mods, go fast, no rails or fab....
high octane junkie Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 dan has a dyno and does dyno-tuning as well. burned a neato drag curve into my ignition for me. =)~
raptoroy Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Hey all some of you had asked if we had a bank account for Dan for donations.Yes we do here is the account number BANK OF AMERICA 004967811095. for Dan and Tonya Clifton. Dan is doing better. He is walking around with a walker and a little without. They have already received some hospital bills in excess of 200,000. So any help would be appreiciated. Thank you again
dunefreak Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 insurance??? nope, he's self-employed and didn't have any from what I have heard
