Oopsie...

Blogger and fellow L.A. motorcyclist XLRQ took a spill today on the 405. Sounds like his bell was well-rung, but he's hopefully OK, except for the huge diamond he appears to have promised Mrs. XLRQ.
We need to meet them...
This may be a good time to point out the Roadracingworld.com study that showed a far lower rate of concussions for riders wearing Arai and Shoei - brand helmets. TG wears an Arai, and I wear a Shoei. [UPDATE: looks like he was...]
Click over and send him some good karma.

Thanks for the link. I had no idea that Shoei helmets were any safer than any other brand. Looks like my next one will be a Shoei or an Arai, too.
If you commute, as I do, can I suggest that you add an Aerostich riding suit (mine is Hi-Viz yellow and black) as well? Cheaper than a stay in an ER...

Good lord, the 405 on a motorbike? That's suicide.
Just kidding, Xrlq. Get well soon.
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
