"It is not how many times you get knocked down. But how many times you get back up"
Your positive attitude leeds me to believe you will survive this and end up a stronger person because of it. Makes some of our minor problems seem real minor.

Man she really is messed up! Has anyone started stripping it down yet? I know it is soon, but I am curious if that frame isn't fubared beyond a rebuild. Hang in there, broken bones are a biatch. I had a tractor roll over on me about 2 years ago, broke some bones under my pelvis. That sucks man. Maybe you will get a good insurance settlement and get you another bike, and you can rebuild that one real slow! Take your time, and be careful whatever you do.

The main thing is you are alright. Take care of yourself first, life is too short. The bike will be good therapy for you as well. Best of luck.

Yeah, definitely +1 on it being OK to loose it once in awhile. We've all been there at one time. Good luck getting back in the saddle.

^^^ Pay attention people!!! That right there is what the brotherhood of motorcycling is supposed to be ALL about. You won't see this kind of gesture from a COMPLETE stranger hardly anywhere else, if at all.

To the OP........... Glad to hear you are gonna be alright. If that old scoot can't be fixed, you will find another to take its place and resume garnering cherished memories of you time spent in life while on 2 wheels!

Ride on man!!!!
