I hear you, you know what you need. Just that for a lot of folks, their life is not always quite all their own to risk as they please. I say this out of concern for a fellow human and not out righteous judgement or anything.
This shit just hits close to home for me. I've personally known two people that have died in motorcycle accidents. These were dudes that were pretty safety oriented. Like wore all the gear all the time, rain or shine.
One of them took a spill and his bike pushed his femur through his hip and partly into his torso. He surprisingly lived through that accident. After he recovered he went back to riding as if nothing happened. He was fine for 7 years until he got involved in another accident and didn't get lucky a second time. He left his wife and two school aged kids behind and it really complicated their situation to put it lightly.
