It wasn't entirely his fault. I was in a hurry and should have waited to see what he was up to, before thinking it was safe to proceed. I just assumed he'd changed his mind about turning left and was going straight, but he executed a plowman's turn, (which is perhaps needed with those idiotic 4mpg behemoths.)
Yep, the police and paramedics came, but Angel and I were both fine. Went to my hospital today and have two broken metatarsals, when my foot was crushed by my crankcase when the motorcycle got knocked over. It could have (should have) been much worse.
Nice, neat little breaks, which will heal quickly. Just have to give up the coffee & tea for a while, and start eating fresh pineapple again every day.
This makes my lucky 13th broken bone, but the first time I've ever needed crutches. All my other broken bones happened while surfing, cycling, falling down an embankment during a rainy hike, and being tackled atop a pile of boulders at church camp. I feel pretty damn lucky right now, considering I just got hit by one of those idiotic monster trucks.
Ah well, a man without scars is a sad, sorry animal.
Hope I burned up all the bad juju for the weekend and you guys all have a fun AND SAFE ride up & down the mountain tomorrow.
