I was hit by a car while riding my motorcycle to work on the 101. We were both driving about 50 miles an hour. The impact knocked me and my motorcycle over and I skidded on the highway for some distance. The good news is all of my gear did their respective jobs. I walked away with only soreness, bruises, road rash, dizziness and thankfully no broken bones. I don't know how the other drivers avoided running me over, but somehow they did. Thanks to them. I was lucky. My motorcycle, not so much. So if you are reading this, do me a favor. We have such a short time here, give someone you love a hug. © Jason Gouliard 2025
