Damn Beattie, glad to hear you're mostly ok. Good thing you were wearing your gear.
<snip>You can never be too safe out there... if it wasn't for my gear, ide still be in the hospital. Always be prepared, you never know. this is my 3rd accident in the last year, the 1st and 2nd were my own fault...this time it was someone else. all 3 accidents were in full gear. </snip>
Well technically on that first one you were wearing jeans... But thankfully you walked away unscathed on that one too.
Ride safe everyone.
