2 types of people ride motorcycles.

1) Those who have fallen.

2) Those who are about to fall.

I'm a member of # 1, Glad nobody got injured !

Not my first encounter with a motorcycle , when I was a senior in High School I was at the wheel of my Father's 1979 Caddy Deville this thing was my first introduction to boats ! The cyclist left his lane on a two lane highway and struck the passenger side, the bike's front end came to rest in the engine compartment, the bike 150 yards aft, the driver cut in two by the roofline !
No helmet !! Wouldn't have helped I was going 50 the cops estimate his speed at 100+.

WEAR A Helmet !!!!
