I've been aware of the dangers motorcycles face on the road ever since I was a kid.
When I was 11, my father got into a motorcycle accident, he spent almost 2 years in various hospitals before being able to come home. he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair never being able to ride again and all because someone was in a hurry to pass him (in a no passing zone) and clipped his wheel as they went by.
On a happier note I'll be taking this coin with me this weekend to an event in Lincoln City, It'll get to see the Pacific ocean before being set free again.
