Story-in-short is my husband was riding a KTM motorcycle from Asheville to Argentina with his friend, Dan. (We both ride adventure motorcycles now to better explore off-road forests and nature-bound places.) On the way to Argentina after being on the road for a few months, a taxi hit him head on and he flew like superman over the cab in Peru. I was called in the middle of the night and I had to pick up my life and business in one day and fly to Lima, Peru where I lived for 4 weeks from Thanksgiving to Christmas 2008 while Shannon recovered enough to fly home. Here's a few more links to help you navigate it all.
My husband takes off for an epic motorcycle trip; see the whole story here at this website:
