You all do what you want, but my driver’s license indicates that I am a willing organ donor. I also ride a motorcycle, and if the worst happens hopefully at least my death can benefit one or more other people in need.

Well, maybe I shouldn't say it, but the medical slang for a motorcycle is donorcycle.

Have you considered switching to a nice, safe, boring Volvo? :-)

“Have you considered switching to a nice, safe, boring Volvo? :-)”

Nah, that would be, well, safe and boring.

I also think that medical people calling motorcycles “donorcycles” is in rather poor taste and I’d prefer they keep their snarky opinions to themselves. I do wear all the gear, all the time (ATGATT), as they say, including a good helmet, but I’m under no illusions as to their ability to prevent fatal or disabling injuries under many possible circumstances. Some of just feel the need for a little more risk in our lives to feel like we’re actually alive, you know? If I had a wife or kids who depended on me I might feel differently, but, alas, I don’t.
