SO my brother is a firefighter and as such is one of the first people on site when an accident happens. He was called to a rather nasty accident involving a biker and I got an email telling me to be careful. It is kindve sweet. But car accidents happen as well.
Then I was over on Raven’s Roads and she has posted an article on a Japanese biker losing his leg without knowing it. Umm wow.
Not going to stop me though. 
When you bike you bike!
Also great is her post on the motorcyle o matic, which if it means fixing tires without punching holes in the process so you have to start all over again, I vote we find a way to fund this magic robot. 
This was in Argentina after we found that in fixing the flat we had in fact punctured the tube when we put it back in. 4 hours we lost this day as it took 3 tries before we had a working tire!!!
*grin* I had a lot of fun with that one.
I’ve had that same experience–putting a hole in the tube.
The second time we were ready to murder.
