guelph ontario | Crashing a bike is like crahsing a plane-if you can walk away from it, it was a good landing. Although you got caught off guard, it was still your skill that kept you on the bike resulting in lesser injuries. I noticed the scrape on the arm-are you going to wear leathers from now on. Wouldnt have helped the facial inpact but may have saved the arm injuries. Heal well and soon and get back on the horse asap. |

Carrollton, TX | Many thanks to everyone for your thoughts and good wishes, I really appreciate it! As many of you have stated it is important to always be alert when riding. It is really scary how fast things can go wrong. I bet I have watched the video over 100 times and many times frame by frame. I really am glad I had the video to analyze and learn from. I will be slowing it down some. Another interesting aspect is that while I had a ¾ face Arai helmet on it never got a scratch on it. The pole hit me across the face but did not scratch the helmet and the helmet never touched the ground until I came to a stop. I am on my way to get the 10 stiches out of my face below my left eye. I should get a feel for what level of scaring I will have. Thanks again and I will keep you all updated. Keep out of trouble you all and I look forward to riding with many of you somewhere soon. |

Altoona, Wisconsin | Craig,
Thankfully it wasn't much worse. Any crash you can walk away from, no matter how sore or bloody, you are lucky. A damaged bike is the least of your worries at that point. Thanks for sharing. Get well soon!
