What? No helos?

As for the motorcycle accidents, that's really nothing new. I can count up 14 guys I knew personally over the years that have been killed in bike accidents, most active duty guys can probably tell you a story or two about "this one guy they knew."

I'm sure if you looked at the numbers, military motorcycle accidents are probably even on percentage of population with civilian accidents.

I ride, and my biggest complaint when I ride are cars not knowing how to handle it when they're behind a bike. Accidents happen, sometimes they are just accidents, sometimes they are through carelessness, but either way you're more likely to suffer life threatening injuries on a bike than a car.

This of course is why I wear a 3 inch thick lead body suit when I ride.
