Crash!

Well, it happened. It’s not a matter of will you crash, but when you will crash, right? So here is the short version:

I was riding on Highway 280, and slowed for bumper to bumper traffic in the left most lane, when some idiot in a beat up old car cuts right in front of me. I grab a fistful of front brake and, the Gsxr bucks me to the ground, then lands on my leg!

Thanks to the anonymous two riders who formed a protective “V” with their bikes, around me to divert traffic while the ambulance arrived. I’m on heavy painkillers but broke nothing. Here are some pictures of my gear:
