Spent 15 min directing traffic last night....

So I'm coming home from a friends place last night....

In my car. No license yet....

I happenned upon a car+dog+motorcycle wreck that happened about 45 sec before I got there. Dog was dead. I couldnt tell which car that was stopped hit the bike. That tells ya something. Pieces of the bike's plastic are everywhere. Rider is trying to get up and is on one knee in the middle of the road. (shorts and t-shirt) Bike is in the ditch. Big Goldwing looking thing...

I turned my car around and used it to deflect traffic away from the scene and waved cars around. Others were helping the rider to his feet and off the road. Others were calling 911.

Not sure what happenned. But while I was waving the cars around, about a dozen bikes rode by. Thurs is bike night at many places in town. One of which is just down the road. Not a single rider was wearing a helmet. Or anything else that I could see would do for protection. The looks on their faces as they saw that it can happen were interesting....
