[QUOTE="DennisJ, post: 1091246, member: 21042"] Update. About 17 months since my accident in April 2012. Recovery went well and I was riding again by the middle of June. Proceeded to drop a heavy piece of wood on my left foot in early September so was in a walking boot cast for another 7 weeks. Missed almost all of the 2012 good riding weather. Bike was good as new when I picked it up at Adventure Motor Sports in Monroe, WA where I take it for service since I bought it there. I have a memory loss that wipes out the the actual accident and time up to the point the EMT's were looking at me on the ground. Frustrating in that I don't know exactly what happened and where I could have responded better. Almost all the damage to the bike and me was on the left side so I think it is likely that I managed a high side. The pelvis fractures are typical for that type of impact according to the Orhopedist at VA who took over my treatment. That and the left clavice fracture and the damage to the left side of my helmet make me think I was up in the air a couple of feet before I hit. Just under 21000 on the bike now, this has been an excellent summer in the Northwest and we still have some to go. I plan a day trip on 9/1 over the North Cascades to Twisp, down to Blewett pass, Cle Elum and back to Mercer Island. Should be a nice day as temps east of the mountains have come down from the 90's.
