My only serious motor vehicle accident

occurred last December when a drunk pulled out in front of my son and
me and totaled our minivan. Things like that are just really hard to
avoid. However, life has risk and I prefer to accept those risks to
do what I enjoy. Living a dull life has its own risk.

What would have been the end result if you and your son had been on a
motorcycle when the drunk pulled out in front of you?

No way to know. I'd have been going a lot slower at impact as the
brakes on minivans aren't anything to write home about. I also might
have been able to avoid the collision, but there is simply no way to be
sure.

In any event, it doesn't matter. Life has risks and I accept that.
Some folks can handle that and some sit on the couch and watch TV ...
and die of hardening of the arteries. I'd rather go out with a bang.
