Max, heal up quickly and hope you manage to sort out your bike soon. When you say 'ridge', do you mean one of those of wavy tarmac as created by HGVs?
Sorry to hear you've been scared into wearing a lid. Remember that it's not going to make you a better rider. More confidence comes from better skills. Not that you could necessarily have avoided this crash even with better skills, of course, but it's about gaining more enjoyment, not feeling scared or worried.
