Wow! you sure are getting the most of life. Good for you- we only have one life so let's make the most of it. Glad to hear that you were able to get up and ride again. 
You will be sore for the next few days, so please take it easy and don't over do it.

Damn! You put a motorcycle into a garbage can at 45-mph ?!?
Can you do that in transition on a basketball court? Any college eligibility left?
Syracuse has a scholarship position that just opened up.

Not only are trash cans a huge risk in the wind, but even moreso, are those construction barrier barrels used nowadays. They blow over from cars/trucks passing them closely, and then roll around in arcs. Never know which way their going to roll as cars whiz by. Everyone's front wheel fits nicely into the base of those "rolling wheel chocks."
Glad to hear you're relatively unhurt, OP.
Gear makes a difference.
Ride safe.
First time I've ever heard of a route based upon the wind direction. Hmmm....

Man that's some bad luck riding into the opening like that. Any other side you probably would have been alright.
But all's well that ends well. I'm glad you were able to ride away from that one.

I'm a bad neighbor. And a hazard to motorcyclists.
