You're alive and the bike doesn't sound like it got banged up all that bad
considering.

If you're like me (I've been down a coupla times), you'll be reliving that
accident several times a day every day until you die. But seriously.... get
yourself checked out by a doctor. Just do it.

Good luck.

Glad to hear you're mostly ok. I agree with the others, get yourself
checked out.

I crashed last year and rode the final 150 miles home with 2 broken
ribs. Not sure now why I did it either, but it seemed like a good idea
at the time. Prolly a mild case of shock.

hmmmm that works for me.... got home last night and on the front steps was a
set of training wheels that were about 60 years old at first I was like ok
who did we borrow a set too and is now returning them... then I was like
"oh... f.... I get it.... nice..... muther ffers...."  first guess  my x
father inlaw... that is something he might do.  My x sister in law and her
husband came into my booth saturday and was like what the hell happen to
you... got a bit of road rash on the forehead....  so I am guessing they
must have called him to report.

I know why you rode it home & hopefully one day you will too.
You've been handed a lesson, I hope you learned the important parts.
Congratulations on gettin' away with only minor damage, but like some
have already mentioned, it wouldn't hurt to have a doctor check you
out.

I did a home show all weekend... so not much rest... ok I drank a little and
paid for it in the morning.  Ok, more than a little.  everyday things
getting better.  Until this after noon while loading up my booth a was by a
double door as I was reaching for the handle some yahoo, cracked open the
other door hitting me on opposite side of my body.  Just about knocking me
on the floor.
