Last weekend, August 5th around midnight I was going on a short ride with a friend who had just started riding, it was her first time riding with another. I wasn't doing anything fancy, just a basic lead, follow. On the way back, I had the lead, heading north on WA99 toward WA516. I had a momentary lapse of concentration as the oncoming traffic had JUST turned green. I entered the intersection and met a Subaru at approximately 20-25 mph. Irrelevant details, the bike is smashed pretty good, subaru not so much. Relevant details. I have been in the trauma wing of the hospital for a week with a broken/dislocated left hip, bruised left knee and ankle. I feel lucky that I got out with nearly no road rash as I was wearing only jeans with huge holes in the knees. I had helmet, jacket, gloves, boots on. I'm not sure the point of this post yet, just may need some help in the near future and I thought I'd reach out.
