Sorry to hear about your crash - hope you're back riding soon.
This quote seems appropriate:

Be well,

hey Chris, just read this thread... sorry to hear about the crash.. and no, you aren't an idiot..lol if you were, that would mean i (and many others) would also fit that catagory- and I am just not ready to be classified as yet! 
keep moving the shoulder- and keep the road rash moist- i use polysporin, and have often wondered if i should just write the company and ask to be sponsored by them..lol my use of their product outweighs the amount of meals i consume in a week.lol
get better soon... or we will just have to get a new nicname for ya-
p.s. i went riding on a new trail sunday- didn't wear my sunglasses- flying tree branches and butterflys are extremely hazardous to speeding objects(me
)
p.s.s.- Iamlucky13- idiot of the day award was already given to my friend who decided to clean out the snowblower of ice- while it was on!- lucky she had mits- only lost mobility and had her two fingers sewn back on... bonus was they let her run the siren on the ambulance on the way to the hospital-----

Chris ... hope you recover quickly. I know how much I hate to miss a single day of riding.
Fortunately I have "burned" only twice in 15 years. Guess I have not been riding hard enough. Both of mine were my fault as well.
It's funny how I have made it through blowouts and mechanical failures without a fall, but those "brain farts" get me.

A shoulder injury? I hope it works out. I have managed to injure both shoulders in the last 2 years. I manage to get along but it is a bit frustrating. Hope you heal up fine.

Thanks for the wishes guys (and gals)! The road rash seems to be clearing up faster than I expected, but the shoulder appears to be taking a little longer
. That's what I get for catching Gold Coast buses to work.

For minor road rashes, I have used 'Brave Soldier.' The stuff is a miracle drug.
