My Nomad is hurt
Well it was bound to happen sooner or later.
I ran off a curve and highsided the Nomad a week ago. Fractured 2 vertebra in my lower neck, have to wear a brace for 6 weeks  Upate: now the new Dr is saying up to 3 months  Well, could have been much worse. First pic is guys getting bike back to road and tow truck. Second pic is bike at collision place. Third pic is my GPS still showing the bike off the road, thought that was different.

I,m very sorry to hear that Tim, but at least your here to talk about it. Your right in saying that eventually its bound to happen if you ride enough. The bike doesn't look that badly damaged, so hopefully it will be up and running soon.

Sorry to hear, and glad your injuries were not worse.
What was your mistake leading to running off the road?

Sad to hear, but it is just a bike. You can get another one, a new or used one or repair it, BUT you only got one life ! So, the main thing is your health, the rest is replaceable.
Cu, Sven

That's not good!!!
With two fractured vertebrae in your lower neck, it could have been a whole lot worse. Heal quickly my friend. Take care.
