Motorcycle Rant
Many of you may not like this post, but I have to tell you after being in the SCI (spinal cord injury) world motorcycles are so dangerous! If I guessed I'd say about 75% of the people I have met were injured in a motorcycle accident. And it's not because they are bad drivers and were careless. One guy was hit because a lady didn't see him when she was turning left. She was only going about 15 mph when she hit him. There was no damage to his bike and not a single scratch on his body, but because of the way he hit the ground, he is now paralyzed. This is one of many stories like this. I really hope that Anthony never wants to ride a motorcycle!! So please be careful when you are out there riding!

Thanks for posting this..
As a rider it is good to have a reminder of the risks involved (as one can become complacent over time).
There is a new safety device for motorcycle riders relative to SCI. Check it out:

After your post, I think I will buy one right away.
That neck brace is fantastic! I am glad to know that something like that exists - makes riding so much safer!
