Glad you're ok. I HATE riding in the rain. I've been in 2 bike accidents. Both times it was raining. That's one thing that has kept me from going on long rides. I can't imagine having to ride 2-3 days in rain.

Chrome, paint and 'doo-dads' can be replaced or fixed...not so with our bodies! Consider it a 'lesson learned' and get back in the saddle.

I'm glad your okay...and just think...six months from now look at all the humor you'll see in this!

Glad to hear you will be okay. Bike will get fixed, Replaced and lessons learned.
I have firs hand experience on not watching the road. It all boiled down to I knew better but the skirt in the car next to me was HOT! I got lucky and went between the two cars and stopped about at there front tires. If I hit the car in front of me, I'm guessing I would of hit it at around 20. That would have left a mark!

Sorry to hear about your mishap but glad you've lived to ride another day - that's what really counts and you're the wiser for it now.
