What the hell, I'll buy a round. I can use one.
Two days ago, on my way home from work, some old gal (younger than me)
pulled out of a driveway and left me no alternative but to smack into
her old pot of a 1999 Toyota. I'm OK, save for a thumb that may have
suffered some ligament damage, and she had insurance, so the bike is
covered adequately. It'll need a whole new front end, unless it
tweaked the frame, which would probably cause them to total it. I'm
still in a reasonably high level of pain, due to the thumb, but am
back at work this morning. I figure that perhaps it'll keep my
attention off the fact that I hurt and won't be able to ride for who
knows how long?

Glad you walked away from it. My right thumb got
whacked so I could back off on front brake use a
little and rely more on the rear. Left thumb is a
bit harder to avoid the clutch with. Hope it's a
quick heal regardless.

??? I read this as "I had my right thumb removed so that I would not use
the front brake as much, forcing me to rely more on the rear brake."
Whatever you mean, IMHO it's generally best to use front and rear brakes
equally.
