Man, I think everyone has already said it - complete bummer, sorry it happened. I can't imagine the impact. You're right, though, at least it wasn't worse. We're hopin you heal back stronger than before. Take care, brotha.

This is not a judgement, but a curiosity. Were you wearing a chest protector.

Thanks guys, I know it could have been a LOT worse. I was wearing a chest protector, I'm sure it took the most of the hit.
I just know from the rib previously being broken, how much it sucks. Hurts to do anything, I slept maybe 30 minutes lastnight.
Sleepless nights, and a stressed out girl. :)

I looked at the bike for a minute earlier, 2 of the ignition cover bolts/case broke out. Bent front wheel, handlebars.
I need a new helmet, mine was a semi-cheapo. It's taken 2 hard hits, I'm not going to see if it will hold up to a 3rd.

Crap it took a beating!  You got a picture of the tree?  Should have carved the date and your initials into it!   :D


Haha, BTW, I just noticed this signature:

Charles, I hope you were not taking my advise about using a tree to stop like I mentioned in "mx to enduro" post. :-[

I know what you mean about trying to sleep, it's been 4 weeks since I cracked a few and it still hurts to lay down. But on the bright side I was able to go riding last Saturday, took a pretty good sized rock to the knee this time... gotta love dirt bikes!!!   :D

I was hoping you were, but it's scary you still got hurt that badly with it. I cringe to think what would have happened if you weren't. Definitely time for a new new lid. Put that one on a shelf and display it as a "trophy"  :) .

if only i could count the number of times my chest protector has saved my skin. They are a must have for weekend warriors of any type. Honestly it has saved me from a lot more than my leatt has.
