Thinker - Glad to hear your friend is getting better. I am more worried about you now. Your posts sound like you are questioning riding in general and you may stop? I hope not. Try to take the lesson out of your experience with friends going down and apply it to your riding to be safe. And please don't give up riding?
What makes me concerned is this story. A local guy here in Truckee had his close friend die in a rock climbing accident in Yosemite about 3 months ago. It happened just before Laguna Seca. Now this guy won't ride his motorcycle or ski or do any of his regular sports anymore. We tried to convince him to ride with us to Laguna to get him "back in the saddle" but he woudn't come. He is afraid of hurting his family the way he felt hurt at his friend's death. I guess it was the first time anyone around him had died and he is not handling it well. The sad thing is he has given up all of the things that made his life fun. Now he has nothing to look forward to and is only existing. I hope he snaps out of it and continues to live. Since we can't avoid our eventual fate, we might as well live as much as possible each day.
If I am mis-reading your comments above, I am sorry. I just don't want to see a guy who obviously enjoys his Busa and life in general take the safe route and check out of living.

I am doing fine...still planning mods for the Winter. I went to see Bob yesterday. It was very, very hard for me seeing him there with half his leg gone, one arm in a cast and a big "terminator looking" clamp on his other hand.
but he was so happy to see me that it allowed me to get past my selfish problems. He has a positive attitude and will be fine.
I am going to try to go see Ernest Sunday. Hopefully, he will be hanging in there too.
As a good friend told me, DRESS FOR THE CRASH NOT THE RIDE!
