Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
I will add my voice to the chorus of "Glad you're alright, and Rita too!"
and thanks for the detailed description of everything. Riding condition, gear, all that. You are positively affecting riders here, and I'm sure that'll be passed on to riders elsewhere.
Regarding the ER nurse and her aversion to helmets, I wonder if her thinking was along the lines of "I'd rather go out with a bang than deal with serious-but-non-fatal-injuries and maybe end up paralyzed-or-somehow-disabled-because-the-helmet-saved-my-life"
p.s. shout out to Iowa! I lived there for 9 years... went to Grinnell, lived in Clear Lake / Mason City for a few years after that. Plus I did RAGBRAI XVI

I'll second that.
The helmet may look intact, 'cept for the road-rash, but the polystyrene will be compressed where your head met it on impact. That will not protect you again.
I have a pair of them. I would rather crash in plain Levis then the Cortech jeans. The "leather" must me made from mouse skin as it is the thinnest leather I have ever seen/felt. Honestly, Levi 501 jeans are thicker than the jeans and leather sections of the Cortechs. And the knees pads don't sit in the right place, but that might just be a fit issue for me. YMMV...

Glad you are ok. A rider near Council Bluffs wasn't so lucky yesterday.
