Larry Glad to hear you and your wife are ok. Falling in no fun. Hope you both are up and riding again soon. One my worst crashes ever came going 5mph over a wet railroad grate. I thought seeing stars was only in the bugs bunny cartoons but found out that you really can see stars when you bounce your head off a metal rail -thank god for helmets.
Your story reminds me of a incident my best friend had, he also went down on a metal grate and as the EMT's loaded him up in the ambulance his frist thought was .....oh NO they cut my favorite set of bibs! I guess its a good sign when your biggest worry is satorial ;-) That Jensie crash was scary glad to see he is recovering.
