Our pal & riding buddy J.D. King told us the news that on Sunday evening after he and Gilby Clarke attended the Easyriders show in Pomona, CA Gilby was struck by a motorist making a left hand turn in front of him in Los Angeles. The driver of the truck then left the scene.
Gilby sustained major injuries to his left leg, left ankle and right foot and will be going under the knife today to repair the damage.

His bike also sustained major damage, but nothing that can’t be fixed to ride again.
I’m a fellow rider as well as a drummer and went through the same thing back in 07′.This hella SUCKS but you will get through it!Went back to work 6 mos. later and I’m riding and drumming again.I think all intersections that allow drivers to make left turns yielding to oncoming traffic should be done away with.I’ve read this is where most car & motorcycle accidents happen.Mine did!!!
Dude. thats shitty. As a fellow rider its one of the most feared things in my city, We got alot of *** here. Any way we all feel for ya and hope the best in your recovery. Your fans in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada
