That rapid loss of air in the front tire you indicated, but pics show looks like air in it?

Motorcycle tires have thick sidewalls. They look inflated with little to no psi. See post 24.

Did you have TPMS on your bike, I wonder if it would make any difference in this case .

Damn , you are one lucky dude ! Things happen quickly at 75 mph. Wish you a full and speedy recovery.

Now for the bright side. You get to put your custom touch to a new bike. Start shopping while you heal up.

Thank God you weren't out running your Guardian Angel. Prime example your's was riding shotgun that day.
Heal fast and be sure to double down on any rehab. I'm sure you know how fast you can physicaly go down hill, and If ole " Saw-Bones" OKs it. Get to the gym too. You sure don't want to climb back on that buckin bronc all shakey and wind up bucked off before you get outta the parking lot with a new ride.
Keep us in the loop from recovery to new ride to first trip.

Thank you Jesus for taking NoRegerts into your loving hands in a moment of need and when he was in peril.

Very happy to hear you are ok. Heal up so you can get back out on the road soon. Sorry about the bike, but it can be replaced, you can't.
