OUCH!  I suppose having "organ donor" on my motorcycle license is  
redundant, then.  :-)

I used to think that crotch-rockets were more efficient in producing  
donor organs, but, in my experience, the speed with which they're  
usually employed (by the young folks who usually ride them) actually  
leaves very little to donate.  I now believe that cruisers and  
touring bikes (and the older, wiser, folks who usually ride them)  
produce more intact (if slightly used) donor organs.

Thanks for reminding me, though. :-)
