Going to the hospital aslo gives you an edge in case something does pop up even though the hospital may say they didn't find anything. Head injuries are notorious for later problems. I'm an ex medic for the fire dept. and have seen many accidents where there were no apparent injuries but the person died from intrnal injuries. Had one accident where the car was t boned and the driver of the car said there was nothing wrong with him and then he keeled over and died...ruptured artery and he bled to death intrnally with no pain or visible injuries. It may be bothersome to have to "take the time " to go to the ER but the life you save may be your own.

Thirty years later, I found out that I had sustained a severe acetabular fracture of the pelvis (shattered hip socket). The arthritis might have been much less severe had I undergone a repair at the time of the accident. If you haven't gone to the hospital, please visit your family doctor ASAP for a follow-up examination.
    Good advice, will do

    I'm really sorry to hear you got tagged :/
    But I'm very happy to hear you had a full face helm on and you're still here with us!
    Having flew off the Spyder myself I can sympathize with how sore your body was those few days after. Im glad to hear you're recovering well. You definately lucked out and being on the spyder prob saved you from worse injury.

    Now its time for Spyder 2.0!!
    We're going to have to get you some side-impact air bags hehe

    Thanks Forrest & Motavar, for kind words, bike should be ready soon but I found out they got the wrong wheels in, they got chrome instead of smoked chrome"....... Now they have to reorder the correct ones hope that don't take forever. The chrome look nice but won't match my trailer and will require more upkeep. Decisions decisions.

    Merry Xmas and Happy New year!
