That would be a dislocated and broken right ankle, and a severely sprained left ankle (not to mention a bruised ego ), due to the gear I had on, I had no road rash at all, there was a Toonie in my right carrgo pocket which was scraped up after the first layer of the pants ripped off, gonna put that into some sort of display along with the "R" that my buddy snagged off my fairing .

I was going hard into the corner as I have many times before, little bit of gravel goes a long way, I should have been more alert to the potential of gravel on this corner. Was wearing my Teknic Jacket (now fucked), my Icon Superduty II pants (now fucked), my Icon Helmet (some scratches and a fucked visor), Teknic Gloves (just dirty) and work boots. If I would've had the riding boots I planned to buy this year, my ankle may have been fine...or maybe not, no way to tell.
