Damn, you sound like a hockey player, 5 broken ribs and a collapsed lung and you rode on. Props! SJ Ron

I'm glad you're ok.

In retrospect, do you think it would have been a good idea to have gone to the hospital, and gotten checked out right away? Or were you satisfied with the way events unfolded?

Thanks guys! All things considered I'm doing very well.

On the way home from the hospital, I re-traced the route with my wife and daughters. My wife was driving and I was able to enjoy the scenery. Very beautiful!.

I'm glad I did what I did. I really wanted to complete the ride. Even though I wasn't able to make it to Orlando I did finish riding 129. I was satisfied with that.

Glad you are well. Tough way to test a helmet, but a good helmet can save you. Wish I could get to the point to put one on.
