Yesterday coming home about 3 blocks from home something on the left catches my attention, turn head to look, turn back, accident in front of me and 3 cars have locked up there brakes, I am #4, lock up the brakes, gravel on road, go for a little slid, all in all no major issues, thanks to this experience I now get to buy new Leather Jacket, must replace Demin Jeans, did not hit head in slid, so no new lid, for the bike I now get to shop for new footpegs, signal lights, grips, clutch lever headlight bucket, and saddle bags. and a fresh paint job for the piglet.(dent in tank).  Worst part of the whole thing is I now have to re-convince the wife that the bike is still safe, and that stuff happens, as for me a few scrapes and contusions, but nothing broken so no biggie.  well at least I havn't learn anything from this as I drove the bike home and don't blame the bike (piglet) for my stupidity.

Glad to hear you came out of that ok.

both legs have assorted abrasions(did I spell that right), left elbow lost some skin, and a very sore left shoulder (last night), but that feels better already.  Have not gone to a doctor, and other that my left leg that still hurts when I stomp (lack of a better term) I feel pretty good all things considered.

Glad your okay!  I bet you can do most/all fo the work yourself!  On the hlemet, though, you may still want to get it checked for microfractrures!

Glad you're Ok and best of luck with your wife.

Glad to hear things weren't more serious than they were!

Thanks to all for the wishes of wellness and luck.  What should I be looking for in the helmet for cracks do they stick out or is it a web type look?  pretty sure head did not hit ground, but it would figure to be the only thing not hurt in a accident  would be the block of granite that I use to attach my helmet to myself.

Depending on the helmet, the shell could flex in an impact and show little sign of damage... while the styrofoam interior (the part that absorbs most of any impact) may have been compressed.  Once compressed, it never expands back and its ability to absorb additional impact is hindered.  I may be wrong but I would think you'd at least see some sign of impact on the shell though.  I know mine only showed a very slight scratch but had sustained damage.  One difference though is that I knew when I went down that it had impacted with a fair amount of force on the left side, so I replaced the helmet to be sure.
