RE: ouch
Steve, that sounds like a pretty bad one. Thank God you're relatively ok, although it looks like you may be off your game for a good while.
What happened? Are there any lessons in it for newbs like me?

rmodel65,
Sorry to hear this bad news. I will pray for your speedy recovery. Please keep us posted through this difficuilt time.
NH1200C,
I remember reading somewhere online that most motorcycle accidents happen when the bike is turning right and/or under 30 mph. In the article it said you should always look in your mirrors behind you when coming to a turn stop or whatever as most drivers are gazing past you and never even really know you are there because of the narrow foot print that you and the bike portray. They go on to say that if you see a car approaching from behind fast, gun it.
This could be all wrong as I have no experience, but I did read the article from someone having many years experience.
