You right about all the motorcycle accidents. I guess it’s just like any sport with different levels of danger. Your aware of the danger but do it anyways. Her father knew she would ride, told me so when she was just two yrs old. He died when she 9 and I never told her about that. He was hit before too, head on and it broke his metatarsals, ankle, tibia, fibia, femurs on both sides. They used a machine to straighten his legs out without something for pain he told the guy and who ever it was told him it would give him character lol The guy was lucky he couldn’t reach him.
One of the first patients I had as student was a motorcycle accident. Some guy picked her up at a pool party offered to give her a ride home on his motorcycle probably showing some girl in a bikini off on his bike. I think that one cost him. She said the last thing she remembered was going around a corner. I asked which way she learned and she leaned the wrong way. I can’t say for sure but that’s when it happened. I started riding on the back of them very young. He was in ICU with head trauma. In those days they didn’t wear helmets. Her skin looked hamburger, road rash everywhere but would heal.
Id rather her not ride anymore in this traffic here but that will be up to her. I sent a picture of her to sng but missing the raps on her body. She’s in surgery now. He older sister was with her all day and trying to get around not riding by thinking about her son as far as getting better but I know she wants to say it directly.
I’m not sure if the weight did help but looked like it maybe giving her the second she needed because that bike was only metal left and glad she wasn’t on it. It’s better to be on the hood or over it than under the car IMO. A friends brother lost a ear and trouble with his legs because of that.
On a regular bike before being hit I jumped wound up on the hood and was glad I wasn’t on the bike when I heard all the noise coming from under his truck. He was turning too wasn’t looking till he heard the noise then looked to see me on the trunk of the car. I was pregnant with her in first trimester at the time. He offered to pay cash for the bike so I didn’t bother reporting it but told him next time watch where your going. I just had a bruise on my leg.
I will relay your message. But you know how it is, the riders will ride anyways.
If it wasn’t for the look of the bike thing bikes should have a pseudo car grill on the front. Maybe then they’d pay attention. These kids on these rockets speeding through traffic on the Freeway do make me nervous though. It only takes one car to turn on front of them.
