Miltona, MN : Motorcycle crash victim says gear saved his life in Friday 26th August 2016.

All the gear, all the time."This is a motto that Jim and Jaque Rasmussen live by when riding their motorcycles. And it was Jim's gear that helped save his life.
It was late in the afternoon on Friday, July 29. Jim took off from their home in Miltona and headed down Minnesota Highway 29 on his motorcycle. He was heading to Glenwood, Minn.
"All the further I got was to Jim and Judy's (at the intersection of County Road 5)," said the 74-year-old. "A vehicle pulled out and I came to an abrupt halt. I hit the front of the car and apparently, I went flying."
When Kyle Grinager heard his pager go off alerting him to a motorcycle crash, he immediately started thinking about the scene and what he could possibly roll up on.
"I was thinking this was going to be a bad, ugly deal," said Grinager, the Miltona Fire Department assistant chief and a first responder. "I was expecting to see a mangled, bloody mess."
However, Grinager was in for a surprise.
The scene was not at all like the images he had pictured in his mind.
"I walked up to him (Rasmussen) lying on the ground and he was talking," he said. "He was telling us he was OK. There was no blood. I thought, this just isn't right."
