Glad to hear you are ok - will be praying for a quick recovery. I've had that happen too where you feel like the event is in slow-motion, pretty weird sensation.

Ah crap, try and get some rest.. sounds like you need it! Don't stress on the bike, I am sure his insurance will cover it. Good thing you were wearing your helmet, they do save lives.

Dude, that totally sucks. As a fellow rider, I know how dangerous the streets and highways can be with all the cagers out there.

The bike can be replaced and us, not so much. Glad to hear that you are relatively unscathed and are able to post about it.

I am glad that your relatively OK. I not a fan of being able to drive without an adult in the car before your 18 for many reason. I know there's a lot of asshole adult drivers too but young people tend to lack the fear factor especially boys. Again I am sure any one could raise the argument 18 doesn't make you an adult but it truly holds you responsible by law. Once you turn 18 your beginning to see how your parents are not required to do as much as they once were so it might make the person a tad more responsible. I guess there no sure fire answer.
Oh by the way, it did not sound weird, what was really weird is how well you sounded and spelled! It must be the drugs....

Time spent sliding down the pavement always feels like an eternity. Wishes for a speedy recovery.

What were you riding? the Vulacan you posted up a while back?

It don't sound stupid at all. "If you ride you understand".
Good thing you were dressed for the crash.

Wow Kev, glad to read you're safe. I can't imagine how scary it was while you were flipping. Godspeed brother.
