Thank God you're okay! I truly feel your pain and hope your return to work (early) wasn't a bad idea. I know for me, when I returned after 10 weeks of medical leave last summer, I was itchin' to get back, but should probably have taken an additional two weeks to get fully back up to speed. I suffered through those first two weeks with very low energy levels and more pain than I really wanted.

Do you plan to replace your scoot (my guess is hell yes, but have to ask)?

Is there anything us Forum Brothers & Sisters can do for ya?

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I think I'd go with black on the SG.

I am so happy to hear that you are okay... Well, as okay as you can be as compared to what could have happened. Take your time off and heal up. We will see you on the road when you're ready!

Default yeah, tough break (no pun intended)

but, on the bright aside, I'd be looking at the TOP-OF-THE LINE CVO (assuming that gramps had insurance!)

best of luck with a speedy recovery

I'm sorry to hear about your crash. Ribs...eww..they're painful....

I wish you a speedy recovery and have to say that I am impressed by your determination. It took me 20 years to get the courage up after my incident with a Mac Truck and you're looking for suggestions on you're new bike! That's a badass right there!
