So long story short, I lost a fight with a sheep.

Approx 90-100kmh, sheep jumped out behind a bush from the left side of the road. Next thing I remember is talking to the doctor 3h later. Fortunately the farmer saw it happen as it was in the middle of nowhere and I was solo.

Decent concussion, bruised shoulder and left hand side ribs. I'd say I got off pretty lightly. Helmet did its job 100% and the leatt body armor and jacket as well.

Bike hopefully looking like mostly cosmetic damage aside from a blown fork seal. Time for a rebuild.

The gist of this is, it was a big impact, if I was not wearing proper kit I suspect it would have been much worse.
