    I was in a bike accident once. I walked away with cartilage inflammation but the driver ended up breaking a different bone in 3 out of 4 limbs, he spent a month in the hospital. I told myself I was too old for that shit and definitely too young to die from it.

    Scariest moment of my life and I’m never ever getting on a motorcycle again. Fact is I got very very lucky. Wasn’t even our fault, an other motorcycle came into our lane and hit us. They were drunk but if it would have been a car or if we were going faster, we would be dead.

        Ya exactly. I ended up flying off and bouncing a few times in the dirt on the side of the road, but he actually fell with the bike. My friend was the one driving (this was almost a decade ago).
