Man, you're pretty lucky considering all the other traffic that could've hit you.
Glad you're still kicking.
I had a similar spill about twenty years ago, but I didn't get quite as busted up. Cracked clavicle, three ribs and sprained both ankles.
Do you remember your exact thoughts as it was happening. I do. I remember thinking as I was bouncing down the highway, "Oh NO (crack, slam, skid, bounce), my brand new leather jacket is getting trashed". Then I remember laying there thinking, "what a stupid thought". Trashed my XS650.

I believe bikers in general are the safest drivers on the road, especially ones that have been through this.
You do learn how just a second of attention diversion can cost you dearly. Whereas most cagers careening down the road with their cell phones stuck to their heads and stereos blairing are mostly oblivious to what's happening in front of them.
