Just a slight semi-OT note:

If not wearing gear is a heat issue (as opposed to a convenience, or -- heaven forbid -- vanity issue), then get mesh gear.

Yesterday I rode for the first time in my new mesh jacket and it really, truly was like wearing shirtsleeves.

Get better and learn the RIGHT lesson here. It isn't:

"It wasn't my fault, freak accident, can't happen to me again."

or

"I'm not skilled enough to handle the bike."

or

"Nothing is worth this kind of discouragement and pain."

It is:

- ATGATT
- Stay focused like a laser beam
- Do whatever it takes to ride safe, including the stuff that people routinely blow off (adequate following distance, looking ahead, REALLY riding at a reasonable speed, yadda yadda).

Hope you heal well and wind up with sexy scars!
