Better be sure your health insurance is paid up and your organ donor card is signed.

I remember talking to the nurses when my mom was in the hospital. Somehow the topic of motorcycles came up, they referred to the cyclists as "organ donors". They had some gruesome stories.
To be young an fearless again. I did my riding in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada. Thousands of miles of roads with little to no traffic and warm sunny days. The late 70s in the Army 10' tall and bullet proof. The ideal place to ride a motorcycle. In those days riding a motorcycle was one of the safer things I was doing.
I believe I once read that the mortality rate for servicemen in Vietnam in 1971 was lower than among motorcyclists.
