Jim,so glad you're ok and I think I am going to start wearing more protective gear when I ride.Hope you recover quick my friend...

Second that! I too am guilty of ditching the jacket on warm days (tho never the helmet, boots or gloves). However going forward, if it's too warm to even where a mesh jacket, I might just forgo the ride.

Pauley, the girlfriend and her mom badgered me all weekend to go to the hospital, but I HATE those places, been there more times than I care to remember (9 surgeries in total due to a variety of sports related injuries), so I didn't and it's now day 3, tho still sore I feel less so than yesterday. I think I'll indulge my inner stubborn mule yet again

CA200, I only carry liability insurance on the bikes, always that accident coverage was a scan. Between the deductible and the amounts your future rates increase once you submit a claim it's really worth it unless you total the bike.

There could be injuries that you don't know about that could cause issues down the road. Your medical insurance will cover you for the doctors visits seeing as you only have liability on the bike. I can't stress enough how important it is to get checked out after something like this.
Inner mule or not, you need to get in there, even if they tell you there is nothing major wrong. And if they do happen to find the BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP that did this, it can end up being more money for you.
