A personal example of how full gear can save your ass!

Damn, dude, sorry to hear. I'm of the same mindset as Ebbs. I specifically avoided getting another SS bike when I finally decided to buy earlier this year. It had been 5 years since selling the R6, but I still remembered how much of an idiot I had been on the streets, so decided to get something much more tame. Heal up fast.

I'm glad you are ok and healing up fast, just don't push it as others have said.

Your crash reminds me of what happened to Erik a few years back during a race. He went down on a left hander and for no apparent reason. He wasn't even close to being in a full leaned over position when it slipped right out from under him. He ended with a broken collar bone, heard it pop as he hit the ground.
