I was wearing full protective gear so i'm ok. However, I think i might have broken or dislocated my right thumb. I'm hoping it's just bruised or jammed, but i'm not sure. I can't use it right now. If it doesn't get better by tomorrow, i'm going to go to the range and get some practice shooting in with my left hand. It hurt my pride more than anything
I remember my first... I had a throttle cable stick on me in a gravel parking lot. I was a teen, and stupidly I tried to pop the clutch and kill the bike. I rode it for 4 loops before I laid it over. Luckily I didn't break anything. Bent a tail pipe, dented the gas tank, and sprained an ankle. It scared me enough to make me more cautious and careful with my maintenance of my old bike.
I hope the thumb heals quickly.
