I am glad you were not hurt any worse. I had always heard that mexican food was bad for you.

No problem! A little bondo, judicious use of a ball peen hammer, a little duct tape, and chicken wire is all ya need! Now that I've told ya what ya need to fix your arm...the BIKE looks pretty bad. If the frame's bent I'm sure they'll total it. You're probably looking at $5,000 parts and laborwith no bent frame. Let's see how far I'm off when the adjuster gives you a figure, and I haven't really looked at the pics that well. Whatever, I personally don't think it's worth fixing.

Heal up quickly, follow the doctor's senseless orders, and don't put too much strain on your left wrist. It could have been a lot worse....you could have looked like the bike! You actually got off fairly light, considering the damage to the scoot.
