I'm glad you're OK, and hope your pains today aren't too bad.

I'm so glad you're going to be okay, JoAnn. My best wishes for your full recovery!
I've had TWO close calls in 8 days. Both on rural roads with nearly zero traffic, both by cars looking right at me and pulling out in front of me. Thank goodness Spyders have such good brakes. I just can't believe the drivers out there these days.

I'm so glad you are OK. Good thing you were on a Spyder. I lost a friend a few years ago when a car turned left in front of him, into a driveway - he was only going 35 MPH, but was on a two wheeler.
Laws need to change to make distracted driving as painful to the driver as drunken driving. People need to be afraid to drive with their heads up their butts.

Great news - released. Hope your recovery is quick.

I sure appreciate all the kind thoughts!
Tomorrow I plan to go out to the local shop and look at Spyders.. Not sure if I'm going to be able to have anything to ride in time for Spyderquest, though. Drat.
By the way, I did find some little scuffs on my mesh jacket from when I flew through the air and landed flat on my back. I'm here to say, wear a back protector, folks!!!!! It was just cheap dual density foam, but I think it saved me from a nasty fate.
P.S. and it looks like before that, the phone in my inside jacket pocket gave my ribs some protection when I was plastered against the side of the SUV. I had no idea Gorilla Glass could bend like that without breaking.

So glad to hear you're ok JoAnn. I just had a very similar accident 7/20 on my F3 where an 89yr old woman turned left coming towards me. She crossed right in front of me and hit me on the left side. My foot is very messed up and I am in constant pain at this point but I'm praying it starts to get better. AMAZINGLY beside from alittle road rash on my right forearm and some grinding on the palm of my right leather glove, my helmet was completed untouched! I'm not sure how I exited the bike and landed on the ground, but was surprised my helmet is still good as new.
This was a very scary experience for me. I hope all goes well and you are feeling like yourself again soon.
