I Heart March.

Not much to say.  Pushed a corner too fast, stood the bike up to avoid a lowside and slammed into a drain culvert and took a pretty good tumble. Oddly enough, the bike is totally rideable. Broken headlight glass and a few pounds of dirt.  I escaped with naught more than a separated a/c joint and a few bruises (including my ego).  Not too bad overall for my first crash, but it's still embarassing.

Damn. Glad you're ok. Crashing definitely did more damage to my ego than anything else. Especially since I had witnesses that made fun of me.

Happens to the best of us.  To a speedy, complete recovery

When I got my helmet off and kind of assessed the situation, everyone was takin care of the bike and asking me how I was etc.  When we did a playback of the crash and figured that I had been ejected from the bike (via the drain culvert) I remember saying "cool.  how much air did I get?".  Odd looks commenced followed by "you just make the beast with two backsed up your Ducati and all you're concerned about is your hang time?"

I made sure they double checked for concussion at the ER

I also apparently let my buddy take numerous pictures of me in the less than flattering gowns (those little make the beast with two backsers just don't look right on a guy that's 6'4" and 220) and post them immediately on the local board.  I have great friends
