Thanks Zeus. Yeah we are good. Got the bike fixed and back on the road. Got my "Broken Wings" patch.
I'm not a member of the club due to riding on the roads. But I gotta tell ya I've had some high flying catastrophic crashes back when I was racing. The highlight of my career was when I was in first place in a motocross heat of about 30 riders, after one lap I hit the grand stand jump wfo in top gear, went out the front door, over the bars and crashed my brains out. But I got up, got back to the truck, ditched my motocross bike and fired up my flat tracker in time for my flat track heat. I was riding two events that day. Back when I was invincible.
I should get a patch for that crash, it was a real crowd pleaser.

Let's hope that you don't get to be one. It is not a pleasant experience.
That was the crash in REdwood city California. A line of cars slammed their breaks on right in front of me. My ABS breaks didn't work and I locked up the back tire. Skidded sideways into the back of a car. It happens at this exit every day. There is a "Y" at the top of the off ramp and people slam on their breaks until they decide which way to go. Hell there was a rear ender right there while we were on the side of the road. They just drive away.
