Thats a bummer, hope your buddy is alright now. I'm just getting back to normal after my 65mph,bike,deer,ambulance,heli,hospital,wheelchair,5 months off work thing. You know "it" happens.
Yeah, he's fine. We hauled him home the same day after getting him out of the ER. Road rash, scrapes, and bruises. Biggest injury was probably his ego.
Sorry to hear about your incident. I know 'it' happens. I've been riding for about 35 years. I've hit the ground a few times over the years as well.
