Hope you get better soon.
Cell Phones :twisted: Saw a lady a few car ahead of me in a big ole SUV swerve to miss a telephone pole, go sideways for about 50 ft block both lanes narrowly miss about 5 cars and trucks spin 180 into the other lane's shoulder. As i passed by she was still talking on that thing!!! :x

Hang in there, man! I got banged up pretty good last Fall, myself. It is a risk we take every time we throw our leg over the bike. My rationale is this: If everything I did in my life was 100% safe.... I would have a pretty boring life. Heal up, let us know if you need any parts to put her back together (if that is possible???). I had several parts donated from members here to get my Roketa back on the road last Fall. These guys are great!

Riders Beware - Idiots are everywhere!
I'd sure love to see people getting pulled over for talking on their phone while driving. Maybe then it would be less common. I'm all for freedom, but most people aren't capable of driving without the phone....add the phone and it's just a matter of time. :evil: Glad you're able to post. All the best during the healing process...we're here if you need us! 8)

Sue her for everything she's got as punishment and warning to all reckless drivers out there.
