Wow that sucks, glad you're alright. That dang gravel, got me last year as I was pulling into the gas station, hurt my pride mostly.

Glad you are no worse for wear, there are two kinds of Riders, those like me and you who have been down, and those that are going to go down.

I often wonder how it is that bikers can ride through a loose surface spot a hundred times, and the 101st time....WAAMMO! Glad you had your gear on....and give God a little credit too! Here's wishing you and your bike a very speedy recovery! [sm=icon_cheers.gif]
