Glad to hear you're on the recovery road. I am starting to think motorcycles are dangerous with all these mishaps. I feel your pain. I went down in a pothole layden corner on June 9th. 8 broken ribs, punctured lung, knocked out my 2 front teeth, broken clavicle, concussion, and a $28,000 helicopter ride to the hospital (yes that is twenty eight thousand) and the worst part was my 2005 RSTD was totaled (of course my first question upon regaining consciousness to my wife was "how's the bike" to her disapproval) Spent a week in the hospital and after getting home had a deposit down on a 2011 Venture a week later. (Again to the wife's disapproval.) She said the hit to the head didnt knock any sense in me.)I did learn the value of good riding gear as the helmet, jacket and gloves took most of the road rash for me and I did switch from a shorty to a full face.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and a new bike.
It can happen to any of us at any time. I also agree the older we get the less we bounce.
