He was out on North Roosevelt on a beautiful Saturday morning. I believe a lady in a minivan turned in front of him and he had to lay the scooter down. He showed up back at the Casa with a lump on his collarbone (sure looked broken to us laypeeps) and a big scrape on his shoulder blade. He refused to go to the ER. Later that day he was having trouble breathing and one of the guys gave him an ultimatum: "Dave, we're all too drunk to drive you to the ER. I'm calling an ambulance or a cab, you decide." So off they went in a cab to the ER. Many hours later he returned, the ER having declared he had a cracked collarbone.
After MOTM, Dave flew home, and during an MSC chat on Wednesday (the old days, with 50 pages a day), he was asked if he'd seen a doc yet. Um, no. So peer pressure was applied and he went to the ER. We didn't hear from him for several hours, during which Dave discovered he did indeed have a broken collarbone... and a broken leg... and THIRTEEN broken ribs! And thus, the Legend of Scooterboy was born.

Rest in peace, Zero. You are already SO missed.

Thanks Jen. I couldn't remember all the story. Who made the cartoonish thingy with the minivan and scooter?? Was it Lee??

Big hugs to all.
