Glad to hear your walking and talking ,up and about .as far as i see it prepare for the worst , it can happen to any one any where . get the best gear you can aford and use it . younger riders go buy a 15 k bike and ride around at 200kmh. in t shirts and runners ,and you know what i talk to lots of people and they don't comment about the speed so much as they comment about some riders lack of gear and how stupid that is , i just say well they have'nt had it yet .i,m sure you heard/and know it, that it was a good thing you where geared up . Hope your feeling better soon and get your gixxer all together , be well .
