My friend still has an aircast on his ankle, and he probably should still have a sling on b/c he tore something in his shoulder. The important thing is that his riding gear and helmet saved his life. Had he been wearing riding boots, his ankle might even be less injured.

I had another friend get hit about a week after this one. He was rearended on his bike. Bunged up shoulder and stuff... still sore about 3 weeks later, but again, saved by his gear.

Both bikes in both tales were totalled. Be safe, people. Cagers are everywhere and they DON'T see you.
