Glad you were wearing proper gear and your not hurt any worse. I think the "Harley Guy" may have stopped to check on you and then rode off to call for help? (since you cant carry a phone on a Harley couse it will shake the little things to pieces)LOL.... Hope you have little pain in your healing and are back on the road quickly. Were you riding with someone or just passers by helping you?

I'm glad you're ok mate. What's that old saying, "Don't drive faster than your guardian angel can fly." I'm happy you weren't. You definitely had someone looking down on you then. Rest up man.

Glad to see you're ok. Looked like an enjoyable ride until the accident. It's nice to hear a few people stopped to help you out...except that Harley guy (WTF?). Hopefully the bike isn't to dinged up.

Glad you are relatively OK, breaks are no fun!

Hope everything heals well and fast, the bike should be repairable as it didn't look too violent landing in the dirt like that.

Sorry about your crash. Hope your bones heal well. Sometimes it is nice to borrow the x-rays from your doctor and keep an eye on the relative position of the bones while healing.

Were you able to determine if the kickstand spring broke? On many bikes they run redundant springs to prevent a catastrophic failure, but I also wonder why they don't use a latching mechanism as you would find on a bicycle where you depress a latch with your foot prior to deployment.

Or you know a very strong magnet might be a cool idea, just to keep it from flopping down in case of spring failure.
