I have never been pushed off the road that must be one heck of a wind!  Glad there was only minor injuries and I guess the bike is basically OK?  Heal quickly!

Simon,

I'm very sorry to hear you went down. I am praying you have a speedy recovery my friend.  I am sure those ribs are extremely painful.  I spent over a week helping my wife in an out of Bed, in and out of a chair and so on March 9-20.  She went down on I-75.  She has 3 broken ribs and the same side broken clavicle and wrist.

We are both praying you heal quickly and the worst of the rib pain goes away soon.

For those not familiar with riding in this area or in any high wind area, I'll share a story.

We do a poker run out of Guymon, OK and its a bigger run - usually a couple thousand bikes on it. A few years back there was a bad wreck with multiple bikes down on a very rural road. One of them was an old boy on one of those Can Am Spyders. It tossed that Spyder like it was nothing. He came off it in the road, and it wound up probably 50' off the road in a field. On top of that, no one had any cell service so we couldn't call for help. Luckily there were a couple of crotch rockets that were stopped to help too so we asked them if they could help us out and be careful but expedite a ride to the next town to get some help and even then it took over an hour for some rigs to finally show up.

I remember assisting with it and the old mans son also went down. He was on a Dyna and he had some broken legs but he could speak and he told us that the wind just picked up the everyone, spun them just a bit, and then dropped them all back down onto the road. I'll never forget that conversation. Basically what happened was everyone in that group took a instant high side at about 65mph as soon as they came back down onto the pavement.

The wind in that area can be very violent. Tossing a motorcycle, or even a trike, is nothing.

Yeah, I rode in that wind in the desert out there. It's so flat in place the wind has nothing to stop it. 5 cracked ribs nothing to laugh about being very painful.  Glad you will are able to talk about this so to speak. Get well soon.

There's nothing like a few broken ribs to make you appreciate taking a deep breath.  Advice: Don't cough!

Praying for a swift recovery.
