Had A great ride Sunday until about 5 miles from the end. I went into a diminishing radius corner too fast and didn't make it out the other side. I knew I was in trouble as soon as I saw it tightening up, I grabbed a little brake and tried to low side it which was working pretty well until I guess the oil pan caught on something and we went airborne. As I was doing the "earth, sky, earth, sky" mambo I was thanking God that he had taken care of me until now.
I was stopped abruptly by a steel fence post, my bike was at my feet. I couldn't see out of my right eye for about 5 minutes and my left shoulder hurt like hell. Thankfully I have really good taste in riding companions and they arrived quickly to help. They took care of me, Got the crash truck out there, loaded up what was left of my bike and me and got us home and unloaded it all and tried to make me feel better about what happened.
I felt like I dislocated my shoulder and broke a few ribs yesterday but after the things that I have been through this year I feel I should trust the Lord since he has proven time and time again that he is faithful and in control.
This morning I'm not as sure about the shoulder but it still hurts to breath and the arm doesn't move much yet but I know it will get better.
The bike is another story. I haven't had the heart to go really look at the damage since I got her home but I know that the front and rear bodywork is seriously jacked up and of bigger concern is the fact that the oil pan is broken off. I'm not sure what to think about that as I would like to put her back together if it is at all possible. I've just started back to work about a month and a half ago after 6 months without a job, so I didn't have full coverage insurance on her.
Will post pics as soon as I can get up and around again.
