Ed,

That sounds like a rough accident... the highside and the truck on your leg.... that shit is no joke.

I hope your recovery is a speedy and painless one.

Bikes can always be repaired or replaced.

It's Ed's fault, unfortunately.

If there are blind crests or curves on a road, you are supposed to adjust your speed (even far under the limit) accordingly to be able to safely react to anything that might be ahead.

The truck driver was not technically doing anything wrong, 3 point turns and other such maneuvers are legal as long as you signal properly beforehand that you will be doing them...
