AAA will go get the bike tomorrow and tow it to a Dealer and do an evaluation. I'm gonna just heal up and not stress.
It's only a bike and it can be replaced. John Kerr is right.
Thanks for the offer tho, much appreciated.
When it happened I went through my options and as they failed I went on to the next and after I ran out I took the final option with zero regard for the bike. I have my truck so I have transportation. All is good.
Sorry to hear this bro.. hope you get better soon.. i guess you did better than prolly other riders in that kind of situation.. take good care and heal fast.
I researched today on how to get the video off that cam chip.....so tonight I'll try again. Bike is at the Dealer for evaluation and they will call with the results later tonight or tomorrow. Since I'm taking it easy, I can concentrate on the crash vid. It should be epic and show if I did it right or not. Either way, it will be a good learning experience to see how I operate on auto-pilot in an emergency situation, right or wrong.
If it's that bad, maybe I'll put it on youtube anonymously...LOL......
Although this is a tragic thing to have happen I am excited to see the footage as it seems you performed excellent in the accident! Im just glad you are doing well after such an incident!
Props to the first responders. Saving lives is their job... saving your gear is above and beyond the call.Thanks guys for the support.
I didn't get to look at the bike as every time I tried to sit up everything was going black and I was pale as a ghost and the Nurse that stopped told me to lay down. The Paramedics took off all my clothes in the ambulance cept my underpants so the ER wouldn't cut it all up.....

From my experience with motocross, downhill mountain biking, etc. there are 2 kinds of falls. The first happen in a kind of slow motion and you have time to think about your moves. The second is when you're all the sudden on the ground and go WTF!!! Yours is definitely one of the first, and my money says you'll find that you did everything right
Spunky, Glad to read you are OK. I cringe every time I read about a drop cause I think that it could be me. Experience played a big role. I was imagining the accident as you described. Should be an interesting video. How long for you ribs to fully heal?
