Been there done that last June, the Bones will heal, and the Bike can be repaired, riding is a different thing after a crash, but it's just as much fun. I am reminded of my crash every morning! The RibsI broke still have a sore spot and the collarbone and shoulder still hurt some. I think you will find as you get better and the first two weeks there is major healing, you will begin to "itch" to get out there again. Good Luck

Get yourself a lawyer, and you might be able to pay cash for a shiny new '08 (Thats my plan anyway).

I have to agree............ That might teach them a little patience, and make it safer for the rest of us.

Hope for you a speedy recovery............. Don't stop riding.

Glad you are OK. Hang around a while, after the initial shock wears off you may find yourself wanting to get back out there.
Here is wishing you a speedy recovery

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Make sure you get a good lawyer and sue the hell out of the cager. That might keep him from totaling out some other bikers.
How did the cop know that you didn't get on the front brake hard enough?
