I know this was just to be an eye opener but this makes me rethink of purchasing a bike at all. i'm not sure if i want to put my girl, and my mom through the thought that every time i get on my bike i might be in an accident on my bike. i know lots and lots of people who didn't get this badly hurt but at the same time i know the 2-3 that have.

I appreciate you posting this up. i hope all is well.
