Thanks Bill. That's one of the best accident reviews I've read, and there
is a lot to learn from it. Much better than reading, "Those grass clippings
jumped out into the road and threw my bike to the ground." I wish more
accidents would get reported with that kind of detail. Glad you were there,
and that reminds me, I've been meaning to sign up for those first aid
classes...
