Thank you again for all of the kind comments. I'm glad to know that you're glad I'm okay <3 you too.

There was another crash today on 119 just outside Neder. That older guy on the Buell.

He had full gear and still got pretty banged up. After I looked at his helmet (which was partially split) it was obvious that would have been a fatal accident if not for the helmet.

Without the leathers he would have had major, major injuries instead of a busted thumb/finger and some road rash on the torso (I'm guessing his jacket rolled up a bit). He was limping and complaining of pain pretty bad (but refused medical treatment).
