Glad you are ok. As a fellow crash test dummy, I know what you are going through. Luckily I crashed on a $500 Yamaha. I'd hate to see me if I ever crash my Sportster.

Ouch! that smarts Clod
My father rode an "Indian" cycle in his early 20's. "Son", he later advised me, "There are two kinds of motorcycle riders. The ones who have had a bad spill, and the ones who are going to have a bad spill."
He survived his spill, and I'm glad to see that you've survived yours (in rather better shape than he did his. Leather was all that protected him).
Sorry about the bike, but glad you limped away from it.

Ouch
Sorry to hear about your accident, but glad to hear your okay, better the bike than you mate, it can be replaced.
When I passed my motorbike test a couple of years back a couple of biking buddies took me to a store for riding gear, 650 quid lighter in the wallet later, we left, every penny well spent, as you say kevlar with armour is the only way to go.

Ouch! Good to hear you're ok. I spilled 15 years ago when an old man backed out of his driveway into me - never rode a bike again. Not because of injuries, but because I was always worried about the next old man with cataracts in his Lincoln who couldn't see 15 feet but was still driving.
Raw,
Glad you are ok....

My only other motorcycle accident was a few years ago. I was rear-ended by a really old fella in a pickup truck. He had a cast on his right foot and his eyes pointed in different directions.
I had no chance.
Bike was fubared, but again, I walked away mostly unhurt.
Sorry about the bike. But thank goodness the hammock wasn't damaged.
I know, right?
The hammock was in that soft-sided black bag strapped to the rear of the bike. I was very worried.
But it was all good.
Glad all turned out well for you. Bike can be fixed...or replaced. Speaks well for your safety gear.
Gentle raindrops and mighty oceans...neither can exist without the other.
Time heals all wounds...but it usually leaves a pretty big scar.
