I take a look at most published stuff related to motorcycles. Yesterday I read a story (may have been in the form of a blog) about a recent study on motorcycle safety. The results indicated that while motorcycles represent 7% of registered vehicles, they are involved in 10% of vehicle fatalities (cue sound track of gasps and moans of horror). I meant to supply the link, but I can't find it this morning. Doesn't matter.

The statistics don't bother me. I don't live by statistics. If I did I would be at home now cowering in a closet. No, instead, I will live doing the things I enjoy as responsibly as I can.

The responses are predictable:

"Murdercycle"

"Organ doner"

"I shouldn't have to support those who maimed themselves with motorcycles"

"My cousin works in an emergency room"

"That's a bold statement" as John Travlota would say. None of that bothers me. I'll take vitriol face to face only.

I am an organ doner. Just have to sign the back of the driver's license in Tennessee. And in the event that I am not using them anymore, I am fine with giving my organs to someone who can.

But I am going to add an asterisk:

*DO NOT GIVE MY ORGANS TO @$$HOLES
