hey all - i was indeed wearing full gear from head to toe and am very thankful. It was a left turn onto a 40mph 2 lane road, so i was mid turn, gave her some gas to get up to speed. Rear wheel slid out from under me, then it caught and threw me to the right.

here's pic #1 - more to follow tomorrow...

wow, im glad to hear you're doing great...........considering how things COULD have went. you're a lucky. its good to hear you had all the gear on!

im sure you know this already....but collarbone breaks are one of the MOST painful breaks ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i broke mine a couple years ago.......omg........SO painful. make sure you do what the docs. tell you, man. collarbone breaks are difficult to heal correctly and 100% back the way they should be. so take it easy, take every single day off that they told you to, and maybe a few more. let that **** heal up, brother.

really glad to hear about all the gear, you take care.
