Default cage vs. mc, again

Well, I wont be riding for a while. I am posting this from Christiana hospital, praising GOD for his protection in this.
I lost conciousness and memory of the impact. What my brothers tell me, a girl in a cage ran a red light, splitting the pack of my MC. We didn't have time to hit bakes before slamming three bikes into the side of her car. Miracle is I'm the only one still in the hospital. Considering how bad it could have been, I was blessed. I've only got a cracked pelvis and a knot on my forehead. Impact knocked me out, and i woke up as the ambulance crew were about to pick me up.

God, I hate reading these threads...even with all the electronic billboards in the Mid-Atlantic the past couple of weeks reminding people to be aware of motorcycles, the morons continue to infest our roads. Thankfully, you can write of your experience and will surely make a complete recovery. God bless you and when ya get to riding again, be real careful.

I am glad you weren't hurt worse. I think the miracle is that you are doing as well as you are. Just out of curiosity what were you wearing for gear?
