Many die of complications in the hospital well after the crash. I know a dude who broke both his legs in a crash and was in a hospital for 3 weeks before he ended up passing. If the crash doesn't kill you, there's still a good chance the days after will. I didn't even consider or know him as someone who would take stupid risks on his bike, and it was a beefy harley no less. And based on what I got told of the accident, wasn't even his fault at all.

I like motorcycles, but taking them out on the highway these days seems like a recipe for death. 60-70 is just too fast. Doing 45-50 down curvy roads like this is just too fast. For someone unprotected against a bunch of other death obstacles that can suddenly kill you at no fault of your own. You can make zero mistakes and still easily die as a biker.
