I was in an accident on Satruday afternoon. Fortunately, I'm mostly okay.
My injuries aren't bad. Doctors say that I should be back to normal in about 6 weeks. I broke the left side of my collarbone, and my left scapula (I have what's called a "floating shoulder"). I'm wearing a neck brace for a few weeks as a precaution, and my left arm will be in a sling for 6 weeks or so. I don't have any road rash since I was wearing my full leathers and armor... I'd be a lot worse off if not for that. And, I only spent one night in the hospital. All-in-all, not too bad for a serious motorcycle wreck. I'm a very lucky man.
What happened? I don't remember. There were no witnesses... I washed out on a turn (probably a low-side). I suspect that I hit some oil/coolant and the bike got out from under me. I was probably speeding at least a little bit, which certainly contributed to the severity of my injuries (though I probably wasn't doing anything terribly dumb). It could have also been an animal, another vehicle that decided to flee the scene, I could have passed out, or maybe one of my tires blew out - I wonder if I'll ever remember? I do remember getting gas about 20 min before the accident, and my next memory is me standing with an ambulance already at the scene and people telling me to sit down. I guess I was out for a while...
I haven't seen my RC51 yet. I'll post a picture when I see it on Thursday. I now have to deal with Doctors, Police officers, insurance companies, and possibly other annoying organizations for the next year or more. Luckily my physical recovery should be quick and fairly easy - but the other stuff will probably be drawn-out and a pain in the ass. Wish me luck. =)
