Could have been a lot worse. Could have left part of yourself on that road. You will heal slowly and the scoot can be fixed.

Glad your OK! As others have said ya can fix the bike. Good thing ya had your leather on. I sure hate to hear about guys going down-- but every situation might be different and maybe by posting someone can learn something from it. Again glad your OK--as you will be able to ride again soon.

Glad you are ok, I know people who have gone into guard rails and come out of it much worse off. Keep us posted on the progress with the bike. All the best, Bob
