How to wake up on Monday Morning.

[Steve Northrop]

Started reading through a week's worth of work emails this 
morning......unbelievable......a good friend of mine that rides a VMax is in 
the hospital. A minivan whore pulled out in front of him, he was going 50mph 
when he hit the side of the van. 1 broken arm, 2 broken legs, fractured 
pelvis, couple of broken vertebrae, 6 broken ribs. "I didn't see him" said 
the stupid cunt. They had to Mercy Flight him to the hospital. I went and 
saw him tonight, he looks bad and is in a lot of pain. This kind of shit 
shouldn't be happening to good riders. I'm really pissed off right now 
because I know what he's going through now and what his family has to look 
forward to. Maybe if a motorcyclist killed a couple dozen car drivers they'd 
pay a little more attention.
