Sorry to hear about your wreck. The really ugly part is when the clotted blood from the bruise starts breaking up and falling down to you ankles. You'll heal up soon enough but not as quick as when you were 18. Getting old sux!

Ouch!
Sorry it took me so long to find this site but better late then never. lol
I’ve learned over the years “mostly the hard way” to wear as much safety gear as I can afford.
Back in the early 80’s I got sucked under the wheel of my Honda 250sx but it almost split me into. Imagine having your foot sucked under the wheel all the way up to your thy but the other leg is hooked over the seat and is keeping you from being sucked all the way through. Sliding to a stop in this possession from 40-50 mph and then trying to figure out how to free myself from this nasty predicament while in tremendous pain was not fun what so ever. I still have hip problems some 30 years later.

If it ain’t got nerfs on it I ain’t ridin it!

Take care and get well soon

Yeah I learn the hard way too. I took my 200s up in the field thinkin "ohh im just gonna mess around and wont need a helmet". Well I was going 5th gear wide open through the field and hit a little ditch about one foot deep and was sitting down and hit it and like bounced because of no suspension and rolled it end over end the long way with it almost landing on me. Well after I did that and knocked myself out lol I was like ya I need to wear a brain bucket all the time.

I wake up in ALLOT of pain after a good rip.......

I'm sure part of that was the violent wrecks I had when I was younger, but it sure hurts more now and takes longer to heal.

Yep, getting old suks!

I am a firm believer in helmets... Lesson learned not in the dirt, but on the street... Was heading up north for a weekend on the bike, and caught a sparrow in the helmet at 80mph... Was like getting hit by a baseball... Crap and feathers and guts all over my helmet... Had to pull off and check my shorts after that one! Safety gear is a very good idea...
