Motorcycles

My dad has had a motorcycle my whole life. I remember when I was young, he told me he never looks at accidents since he saw one involving a motorcycle, where the rider lost his life. Yesterday, at 6:20 am as I was on my way to meet my carpool, traffic was being diverted around an SUV/motorcycle accident. I saw the motorcycle under the SUV, and had to look away. I am so careful around motorcycles on the road, hoping that everyone else is careful around my dad. And then there are the idiots who weave in and out, tailgate, and otherwise drive recklessly on their bike. Without the protection of a vehicle around their whole body, it is just a short move away from a nasty accident. I can't stop thinking about yesterday's tragedy (I can't imagine the rider walked away). Please be careful around motorcycles!
