Good God Almighty - you're lucky to be alive. I'll send some good thoughts your way and I hope your recovery is speedy and as uneventful as possible. God must have some plans in store for you my friend...

7 broken ribs and you went in to work becaseu you';re bored.

That my friend, is dedication.

And for the guy that hit the guardrail and broke 10 ribs....

WOW

Both of you guys should be dead.

Hope you heal up well. If it was me, I'm afraid I might have to stop riding.

Ouch...nicely described. Good luck on your recovery. Must have been a fugly feeling watching that bike sit up and then drop on you. Been in enough I could see that...nasty. You may not feel like it but you are one lucky guy.
