I was about a half mile from home and rode the bike home .
My wife talked me into going to an orthopedic and I had my right hand x-rayed . Doc said he couldn’t see any breakage . I go back today for a recheck .
Bruised up and sore , but getting better . 280 lbs hitting the payment and landing partly on the bike at my age hurts and takes awhile to heal .
Luckily, I had on my helmet and full fingered gloves .
