Been there done that and totaled the bike but only got a small scratch on me. It not if it's going to happen it is just WHEN. Glad you are able to walk away sounds like you kept your head about you.

Well THAT'S some fine attitude sir...

Glad you're ok ClayMeister. broken ribs SUCK!

Damn, Man! Glad you weren't badly hurt.
The bike can be fixed... Even better than it was.

Wishing you a Speedy recovery, Sir.

Better ribs than neck. Then again broken ribs is no party. I almost crashed my bike into a concrete divider last week. Thankfully the crash bars saved me and the bike. Makes one think about things differently. Glad you are recovering and in good spirits.

As you know, the outcome could have been worse. Learn. Heal up. Fix the bike. Get back on the road.

Best wishes to you and hope it's a speedy recovery!

Broken ribs are awesome. Statefarm pays $1100 per broken rib. AFLEC only pays 150 per rib. Don't ask me how I know

The last time that happened to me my Doc advised against doing the ace bandage thing. Told me that was old school and they have learned that it really doesn't help. Just what I was advised. Glad you were able to ride away from it.

Heard the same. Be careful with that. Has been blamed for causing fluid build-up in the lungs, i.e. pneumonia. Check with the doc first.

That sucks, but glad to hear your injusy isnt too bad.

Well, the ER docs said no wrapping and to do an hourly breathing excersice to avoid fluid buildup ienuemonia.
