Unintentional Consequences Of St Louis And B'more Riots.

I laid the bike down yesterday when I ran into gravel across the road on a blind curve. Sheriff came, police and ambulance.
One deputy got surly with hubby when he asked why there weren't warning signs out about the gravel. After all the road is a popular route for bikers on their way to Big Slick's Bar and Eatery and The motorcycle outpost. Gravel like that is a serious danger for bikers.
Later when the ER is releasing me I can find my license in my purse, but not the case I keep my license and d bit card, nor my debit card. I call the sheriff's office, assuming I my case had been dropped in the squad car. Eventually the deputy from the scene calls me back. He surly tells me he distinctly remembers putting my case in the black purse with pink stripes. I responded that my bag has an eagle on it, and I don't normally wear pink. He'll get back to me. 20 minutes later the EMT calls, she found my card in her purse.
I can't speak for my husband, after all his heart condition makes him aggressive when upset/angry, but I kept my tone neutral at all times. I also carefull chose my words to let them know I believed it was accidentally misplaced. At no point did I even hint that someone stole my card. But I got the short end of his temper.
the card is back in my possession, so all I have to do is find an orthopedist about my knee, and heal.

Yikes!  Glad that you're ok and that you found your cards.  Hopefully that cop was just having a bad day.  Nothing like adding stress to an already stressful situation.  :hug:

I hate gravel! And when forced to drive on it I'm usually scared crapless. And forget trying to back up, I'd rather not stop anywhere with a gravel parking lot.

 

Here's hoping the recovery's swift!

 

How's the bike? any serious damage?

I hate gravel too. If I had seen the gravel, or Ben warned, I would have power walked the bike across. 

 

I actually haven't seen the bike. The wipe out knocked me out briefly, or a probably phobic blackout triggered by the fall. I recovered full awareness already in the ambulance. Just in time to prevent the EMT cutting my chaps.

 

It was still running when hubby came back to help, so I assume the engine is sound. Have to replace a tail light, the brake pedal and something on the headlight. I'll know more when I see it, or I get it to the mechanic c.
