They're BBS CH's, the original versions without that stupid stainless steel rim guard that's on them today. 19x8.5 ET 35 fronts, 19x9.5 ET 40 rears.Those are my all-time favorite style of BMW wheels. Had a similar set on my e36.

You've got me beat - in my worst bike accident (June 2000), I crushed a helmet, broke a tooth, and donated much skin and blood to the road, but didn't sustain a concussion.Yes, I was wearing a helmet and Oakleys, plus all the usual road bike kit - including shaved legs! In the course of going down (on asphalt pavement at 25 mph) I led with my left arm, which broke my elbow, middle finger, and tore my rotator cuff.
Milliseconds later I did a face plant on my chin which caused the concussion. Except for blood neither my helmet or Oakleys had a mark on them. Bizarre.
Accident happened while doing some pace line speed work with my training group. All of us were mega hardcore and highly experienced, but mistakes happen. Two riders in front of me overlapped wheels, which caused the rider immediately in front of me to go down. She (and what a powerful stud she was!) was down in an instant. I ran over her riderless bike as it skated over the pavement in front of me, causing me to get thrown over my handlebars. Everything happened too quickly to react.
Besides being knocked unconscious there were fears I fractured or broke my neck, which required strapping me to a backboard on the way to the emergency room in the ambulance.
When my wife got to the hospital it was quite a fright when I didn't know who she was. I'm not sure who was more freaked out; Sue, me, or the doctors. But, I had full cognitive awareness otherwise. The effects of that concussion lingered for a year - and 25 years later my elbow still bothers me sometimes.

What is the taste? A little sour??
I have dinner plans, so will find out tomorrow.What is the taste? A little sour??
There are different types of sorrel. The one that grows here like a weed is the one we called sour grass when we were kids. I think it's official name is wood sorrel but I'm not a botanist. It tastes, no surprise, sour. The leaves resemble clover leaves. The sorrel in your jar is a different kind. I think that's called common sorrel and it's originally not a plant native to North America. It's also sour.I have dinner plans, so will find out tomorrow.
Or perhaps @vavavroom can grab a handful in the fields and have a chew…
I remember those trains somewhere along the trip between Redding, CA, and my Las Vegas waypoint.Just to even out all the Cali content: things you see along I-40 in Arizona and New Mexico.
