Been following this story since last night. seriously tough brake (do puns lighten the mood?)
there are only three rules to riding:
1. Shiny side up
2. Dirty side down
3. Don't f'n Die
Even if you break the first two rules, you only lose the game if you break #3. You're still winning man! get better!

Getting held in trauma they want to keep an eye on something in my blood readings. Ugh.

Geezalou dubs. Thats a laundry list of pain. So sorry you are suffering.
How in the heck did you bust a tooth in that Shoei full face?
In my only riding accident, back in 1968 I was wearing an open face Buco helmet when I went down and cracked/chipped 7 teeth. 49 years later I still have trouble drinking really cold stuff. I also smashed the big toe on my right foot, and it's still messed up.

This kind of news is never good to hear no matter who it is, but Powerdubs posts have always been kind and thoughtful when replying to me, so I really hate seeing something like this. Hope you heal fast and get home where you can get some rest soon !

Josh I always (until this one) enjoy your posts. Your persistence in perfecting your bike is inspiring. I know you'll get though this and continue.
So THANKS-- Jon Z

Hi guys- still in trauma. They just drew blood again to check levels, something to do with internal bleeding. I’m sore.
My buddy went and got the bike and brought it to my house. Said it didn’t look too bad to him, engine guard did it’s job, lost a rear blinker.
It would have been much worse if I didn’t always wear all the gear I do.
Dainese leather jacket with spine pad, chest pads, shoulder pads, elbow- forearm pads. Matching pants with knee shin pads. Jacket zipped to pants. Dainese gloves, shoei helmet, Icon Reign boots.
