I did lots of stupid things on bikes in the 70s. Somehow I survived. Thoughts of those things still gives me the shivers.

He said they would find a motorcycle off the road and the rider up in a tree 300 feet away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saw that happen in the Florida Keys years ago... A motorcycle with two riders flew by us and about 15 seconds later, they broadsided a car doing a U-turn from the west to the eastbound lanes. The passenger on the bike was on the shoulder of the road motionless but breathing... I called an ambulance and they were there in a minute. The obvious concern was to save the life of the guy that was in front of them but I kept trying to get their attention that there was a second person on the bike and he was way in the jungle somewhere. In the end, I fought my way in through the brush and found the guy and lead emergency personnel in to retrieve him... he was so deep in the jungle and it was so dense, it’s a miracle I found him. He was totally wrecked with bones protruding in several locations but he at least was conscious.

Ya probably wouldn’t want the risk of having any of his DNA show up in your children.

True, I guess - but he told me that he was a veteran and survivor of the USS Indianapolis. If so, he will always be somebody special to all of us. Even if he was a lousy motorcyclist.

On a completely unrelated note one of my girlfriend's dads was severely wounded on Omaha Beach and another's father was a tank commander in France.

Interesting time to be dating.

No too long ago there was a Youtube video involving a high speed chase of a stolen crotch rocket, speed exceeding over 100 MPH.

Chase ended when the rocketeer flew thru an intersection and broadsided a vehicle making a left turn into the intersection.

The whole collision was captured on a store front security camera that showed the rider fly thru the air almost a hundred feet. He actually flew out of his pants......
