So glad you weren’t hurt badly. Yellow Jersey straightened the fork of my XO-5 after an unfortunate meeting with a minivan. They did a great job with an unbelievably fast turnaround. I’ve noticed no ill affects from the bend and repair but will let anyone know if I ever foolishly consider

Ouch! Glad you're OK. How's your head? Were you checked for a concussion? Loosing a tooth can mean one or not, depending on the impact. Prayers for your rapid healing. With abandon, Patrick On Tuesday, August 12, 2014 10:52:57 AM UTC-6, Mojo wrote: Accidents happen. This one though freaked

Glad you're OK--and, BTW, that is some stick! Advice on the chin c--let your beard grow out until the scab lifts on its own. Don't ask me how I know to do this, just do it. Your face will thank you. And you'll always wonder what happened in those few minutes you're missing, but I suspect

Thanks all. Oh yes Patrick a good concussion. I was on a 27 second loop for more than 4 hours, none of which I remember. My wife is a saint. I am taking recovery very seriously, with lots of rest. Not to start a helmet debate here, but without my helmet this likely would have been much worse.

Joe, Sorry to hear about your crash. Wishing you a successful and swift recovery and you are back riding soon.. When you have your fork checked out inspect around the fork crown for cracks in the paint at the lug joints. Also inspect the top tube and down tube near the head tube for any

So glad to hear that you are okay/wasn't worse. I had a friend who was slammed down in a similar way from, of all things, a *squirrel* crossing her path! Got stuck in her fork about the same way. Your faith will come back—and you will have greater awareness I predict. Heal and rest, RCW --

Joe, I'm glad your ok. Unfortunately I know the feeling... I and my Saluki went over hard yesterday coming home. I've got a minor elbow fracture and the saluki fork is crumpled... More to follow but the bike did remarkably well and I've already heard back from Riv with options on a

Ouch, that's an ugly looking face plant. No doubt the pain of the damage to your beloved ride will last longer than the face pain. Heal, be well, and get back on a bike. The most dangerous seat at our age is the sofa. Michael On Tuesday, August 12, 2014 12:52:57 PM UTC-4, Mojo wrote:
