Ungabunga,
I'm SO sorry you broke some bones in the mishap! Have a new "bone" on the old chopper guy... You're NOT kidding about those RIBS! I broke one a few years back, and it HURT for a good while...
Judging by your BlogSpot I'm guessing you're a CHRISTIAN! Woo-HOO!
Trust me, the good Lord WILL provide your healing, and even miraculously INCREASE your riding skills to never do that again! Ask, believe, and next time on a bike you'll ride like Evel Knievel... Well, his SKILL LEVEL anyway, maybe NOT his riding style... LOL!
Sounds like your scoot can be "resurrected" and you'll be "knuckles in the wind" again next season. Most all of us have done something similar and lived through it at one time or another... I did it at 100 mph on a chopper, on a freeway, on a patch of black ice, sans helmet back "in the day"...
Keep the faith, learn from experience, and enjoy the ride again soon!
Sincerely,
Leo in Texas

The buises and swelling are almost gone from my 45 mph off last June. It takes time and if you are left with a few scars thats ok as they help you remember what not to do and why we wear our gear.
Friday I was late for work because someone riding a moped on a busy street in the dark and fog without a helmet or any safety gear (not even a light colored jacket) was riding in the dead zone of the breakdown lane and could not be seen by traffic at one intesection so he was T-Boned by a pickup and had to be life flighted out. The truck really just bumped him but for lack of gear he might not pull through.
