So sorry to hear to have to end your season like that. Take it easy, concentrate on mending and you'll soon have your bike back, good as new, and you'll be up back at it before ya know it. Take care!

Good thing you made it out alive... while you're recovering you can think up ways to rebuild the bike... better than it was... stronger... faster... bionic!!
