Good Thing I Was Wearing a Helmet

Being in a cast for over a month is going to suck. There is no way around it. I must say though, that I'm really glad that I had a good helmet, gloves and jacket when I was hit on my bike. The first new purchase before I get back on my motorcycle will be a good pair of riding boots. I was wearing Doc Martens and they did NOTHING to protect my ankle. I'm looking at SIDI, Alpinestars and TCX, as they seem to be the best in the business. Sure they look like moon boots, but if it's the difference between being in one of these damned casts and looking like an astronaut, then...to the moon Alice!!

I Have Been Initiated

So I have officially been initiated into the world of motorcycling. Some numbskull took me out with his car last Monday. Luckily it was at low speed. Damage to my bike is mostly cosmetic, with the exception of the shifter which sheared off.

Damage to me is a fractured and sprained left ankle. So I'm in a cast for the next 4-6 weeks. AAARRRGGHHH!!!!
