Another "Glad you're okay" but I'm sure you are tired of hearing that. Either way, glad you had all the gear on that day. Motrin is certainly your friend foe awhile.
Rest up and keep us posted on your progress. Oh yeah, that's what the insurance is for - let them figure it out. New - with ABS - sounds like the prevailing pattern here.

Anytime you make contact with a truck and you are on your feet in short order thats a win! ABS and reflex braking of the new bikes is amazing in a panic stop situation. Glad you are still with us!
P.S. totaled in my opinion

Really glad you're still with us...man, scary stuff.
Did the inside of your helmet or the windshield do that to your scalp? The impact?
Geez that didn't look good but could have been so, so much worse.

Hope you're doing well and heal up quick.
Rebuilding a bike with damage like yours is pretty straight forward. The value for being a Rebuilt bike drops at least 25% and the parts, even off eBay or Craigslist add up and up.
There are 3 must haves on our bikes:
ABS
Stereo
Cruise
If you're able I'd replace your bike with one that has all 3.
Good luck,
Bill

i thought helmets were suppose to keep you from busting your head open ? good thing you were wearing it. the bike is toast and i wouldn't want it back, unless it isn't insured. i hope you heal up fast. been there and done it, except i came up a short a leg.
