I’ve been to more traffic collisions than I care to remember, and those I dread the most are the “car vs. motorcycle” variety. Then again, you’ve got ‘car vs. bicycle” and “car vs. ped”, and “car vs. building”.
None of it’s pretty.
Then you have the “motorcycle vs. bridge”, and “motorcycle vs. Mountain” single vehicle collisions, so we two wheeler’s aren’t always banged up by the cell-phone talking, beer-swilling cage “drivers”. Sometimes we are perfectly capable of jacking ourselves up without any outside help at all....
I always walked away from the ones i did myself and usually managed to make the bike go again. Whenever Bubba ran the stop sigh, etc, I got scraped up off the road. I was DOA after the head-on and pushed aside because the ER was full of 2 major car crashes. A couple of med students saw the stiff on the gurney and decided to practice their life-saving techniques and the damn thing breathed. So I got pushed back into ER for treatment.
