A phone call from my friend Josh of True Kustom tonight tells of a day modeling for famed motorcycle photographer Michael Lichter -http://www.lichterphoto.com/, that ended with Michael in a Wyoming Emergency room with two Broken Bones and a cut on his head. The shoot was moving bike photos for Wiley X sunglasses.
While shooting and with a group of bikers Lichter’s safety gear failed and he fell from the back of the pickup truck he was filming from.
Since this information is second hand, I’ll not try to go into details of the injuries but the speed at the time was purported to be around 45 to 50 MPH. Lichter is expect to make a full recovery. Josh says that that the group was barely able to avoid Lichtner with one Road King hitting him.
I will see Josh at a bike show tomorrow and will post further information as it comes available. Obviously given the speed and nature of the accident Lichtner is lucky to be alive. Lichter and his family reside just a few miles from Maxair in Boulder Colorado.
Our prayers for a speedy recovery go out to Michael from the Maxair Crew…………
