Shit Chris!! I'm glad you are ok. Holy Cow!!

Are you Iron Man or something?

Nope, I think he's Delrin(R).   

just woke up from a pretty restless night. the only way it didn't hurt was laying on my back. i never sleep on my back so i was pretty uncomfortable even after the dope the doc gave me and two shots of "elixer". good stuff by the way. i am gonna go back to the hospital today to have my head checked out because it feels like my brain is pushing against my skull trying to break through. also got a bunch of swelling in both knees and my left foot.

Glad you weren't hurt worse...

Rest up & take care of yourself! Looking forward to seeing you at LYDBLQ's

Quote from tina " he is having headaches. he says it feels like his brain is pressing against his skull trying to get out. the scans today were to make sure there is no bleeding on the brain and no fractured verterbrae. he is clear on both accts but his brain is bruised and swollen causing the headaches."   

Damn, I log on from a hiatus and I see this.  Get well Chris!

finally got officials. they did ct scan, ct spine, x-rays on shoulder, pelvis, left foot, right knee.

doc said that i have bruises on foot, knee, pelvis. i have some torn muscle in shoulder but they won't know more on it until i get swelling down. the ct spine was negative for any fractured vertabrae. the ct scan showed no damage to my brain but it did show swelling. he said i have a moderate or grade 2 concussion which explains the swelling, loss of conciusness on scene and patchy memory about the immediate events when it happened.

tina is going to get disk for pics so i will post them tonight when she gets home.

thanks for the support. not sure on next bike. depends on what i get for mine and which route i want to go. i have looked at new 1100 evo's (monster of course) or maybe a monster 900,695, 620 AND a 900 supersport.

really sucks because i had finally gotten my bike to where i really wanted it. performance and appearance wise. my 695err is now the slowest 695 in the country. plus my favorite scorpion helmet, fieldsheer jacket, fieldsheer gloves, motocentric backpack and touring boots are all screwed up.

i also have already talked to the adjuster from his insurance agency and he said to get my medical taken care of and not to worry.

went by ams on way home and my bike is jacked. it don't look real good. frame, front forks, front tire, tank, bars, mirrors, rearsets, hand controls, headlamps, front master cylinders, exhaust and more just toast. it even scrathed up my .50 cal brass i used as frame plugs. i told jordan i want them back. a good friend gave me those.

Glad to hear the only bad damage is for stuff that can be replaced... 

Holy crap man!  So sorry to hear this, and glad
you survived

If the frame ain't bent, you could buy it back after totaling it out, and apply the settlement to some righteous mods! Think about it...

Damn 

Double Damn   

f**k it aint that bad, it will buff out!! 

Just damn glad you are okay!!

I'm kinda amazed the moto doesn't look any worse than it does - I hope they are not finding any more physical damage to you C!

I think we've all learned two very valuable lessons here:

1. Glue a damn ultra strong magnet to the bottom of your bike to change lights for you ( my signal minder works good but some old speaker or motor magnets would probably do for you cheapskates ).

2. Never let anyone go first!    That was so unlike you Calscrazy, even for a neighbor, & even with the signal light thing.
