Last night at around 7pm ABATE Northlake member Bob Ward went down on highway 190 in Covington. Bob is in intensive care at St Tammany Hospital in Covington suffering from numerous contusions along with a broken hip/pelvis and a concussion.

Please keep Bob in your prayers.

This latest is on the same stretch of highway where on Sunday Feb. 24th a St Tammany Sheriff’s deputy was killed and one week ago another ABATE Northlake member Randy Pounds went down.

Randy is scheduled for surgery on his back this week along with continued facial reconstruction, he is still in Our Lady of the Lake hospital in Baton Rouge, room 605.

With the weather changing to more suitable riding it is imperative that we take time to re-acquaint ourselves with our bikes. After the winter we tend to get back on our bikes forgetting all the little things that make us safer riders.
