Thank you all.

I will need a new helmet before I ride again…so any suggestions on a good one?

The one that I was wearing the day of the accident was a LS2 Modular helmet…I don't remember the model number but I liked it… but now that I need a new one…I would like to get your opinion… maybe one with bluetooth.. any suggestion?

Thanks.

While the modular helmets are handy, I avoid them, because I don't think any of them are tough enough to qualify for a recent Snell rating. If I'm going to go to the bother of wearing a helmet, I figure it might as be one with proven effectiveness.

Very glad you are ok...the bike can be fixed. I know how you feel...went down in sand years ago, not fun...
Also, my rocker got seriously tagged in a parking lot the other day, just before I left for laconia...my bike was nearly mint...out of order...
Fix it and ride safe.

Only a FF would be more effective. The modular helmets offer a little more protection than an open face. The rotating/locking chin bar is why they don't get the snell rating. It's not as strong as a one piece FF chin bar.

Glad it wasn't too serious.

Hope you're back on that thing soon.

Ouch, ouch, and OUCH! That goes for your arms, and your bike! Looks like they have you in a comfortable bed though. Hope you got a hot nurse and a few feel good pills for the pain, although your bike repair may hurt worse than the road rash. My condolences.

Glad you were hurt any worse, gravel & sand are my biggest concern on the twisties around here. Hit sand years a go, screwed up my ankle, could'nt ride for a long time. Heal up quick.
