Yep, it all seems good. Hopefully I won't be as sore tomorrow and can get a little seat time in.

Damn, seems you were pretty lucky getting out of that one walking! My uncle walked after his crash, but they had to spend the afternoon looking for his arm, wasn't much use when they found it, he rides a trike now, poor bastard...

Anyhow, I'd definately retire the helmet, keep it around but make sure no one uses it, the shell and foam could be damaged and it's not exactly an area you want to gamble with.

Good to hear you're safe!!

That's horrible, I'm certainly glad there were no cars around and nothing for me to slam into will tumbling to a stop. I took the helmet to my local honda dealer and they checked the foam and shell and said it's fine, but as long as my new one isn't a POS the one from the crash will be a back up.

Glad you're ok. I lowsided my bike yesterday at low speed. Nothing broken or bleeding on me, just bruised and sore thanks to ATGATT. Right side of my bike is rashed. I need to replace the rearset, brake lever, mirror and plastics and I'll be back on the road soon.

That sucks, glad you're ok, I'm still sore and bruised as well, but have been back on and riding the past couple days. It was my first spill on a street bike, glad I was wearing leathers, but at the same time pissed b/c I just got them not that long ago. I've been down plenty of times on my dirt bike though. Good luck getting your bike fixed up, my CCTL just started making noise the other day so I gotta take care of that soon along w/ a new stator cover.
