Sorry to be reading about this Chris glad you're still with us.

I'm curious you said the boss and your friend were both ahead of you did they happen to say if they saw something in road?

Wow, Glad you survived.
Tire don't look flat. When you say the bike wouldn't steer, do you mean you were not able to twist the bars or when you twisted the bars nothing happened. If the former a split roller bearing in the fork? Something fell down between the tank and the forks?? If the later, maybe something in the handle bar mount broke? The cut in the from tire might have happened during the crash. I would also guess it's possible that the tire was cut but didn't lose air? Bike was slipping on a loose tread?

Well damn, sorry to hear this, but glad to see you okay. I saw where you had mentioned your wife was with you and thought o man, hope she okay but sounds like she was on her bike and must not of hit road debris you hit. She saw the whole thing though which probably wigged her out pretty good. Fast recovery man!
