To the people in St Pete that have taken care Zach since the accident, we truly appreciate it. You guys always continue to amaze us not only with your solid bike community but with the overall love you show us all. At the risk of getting "emo" here, there really is a brotherhood between our two cities and the recent outpouring of support with Julius and now Zach, really speaks volumes about you all...

In the interest of fairness and at the request of someone close to this incident, I have stricken the earlier comments I made regarding the individual responsible for the accident. This has become a major point of contention recently and I'm going to let the law and the lawyers figure this out. Don't get it twisted; I don't regret what I said and still stand by my words. But I'm also enough of an adult to realize that incendiary comments don't do anything to get to the truth of the matter. I just hope all the people involved with this f**ked up incident have learned a valuable life lesson from all of this...

Heel Up soon son, only know you in passing (photographs from Red Ryder and mutual associations) but judging by the fact that you dropped RA the Rugged Man during the after party at Back Booth, I can only assume you are part of my people.
