The good part of accidents like this is that generally, the rider only does them once. Same with all the bozos who wheelie and then overdo it and end up sliding along on their butt. They might just be a bit physically sore the next day, but once they find out how much all that bodywork, bars or new pipes cost, they (generally) figure out that staying on two wheels is better. The truly dumb just get buried. Having said that, it is Motorcycle Awareness Month. Look twice, save a life. We're sometimes hard to see even at normal speeds.
