Luckily the doctor said it wasn't broken (when he did strength tests to my arm bedside). He did give me a scare saying its possible I may have damage some nerves considering the severity of the impact but said best case scenario is it will come back in time...luckily it was the best case scenario.

After you have a crash like mine, things change and now I also bought a Leatt Neck brace.
Is your Leatt specifically for Roadracing? I had heard they were working on one. Draik's Safermoto vest provides some really good neck support in a crash when it inflates but doesn't interfere with body/head position when it's not inflated (it's tethered to the bike and blows in the event of an off)
