I see someone on a motorcycle, and I think "idiot". I've known 7 people in my life who have had motorcycle accidents. One has had 2. He broke his neck in one of them. A couple spilled their bike on uneven pavement. A guy I met in college was like doctor House (dead bone in his leg causing great pain). Another guy was thrown 60 feet when he was rear-ended by a truck. And the last 2 are a father and son. The father has brain damage that destroyed his marriage. Go ahead and have your midlife crisis. I'll be in my car. I might die in a horrific accident someday, but a fender bender won't turn into road-rash and a concussion.
