Coming off your bike at the end of the world

I've never been a motorcycle reader, and it's not just because everyone I know who is a regular rider has come off it at some stage and done themselves a horrific injury.

It's because I will always remember the parts in The Stand where people come off motorbikes and really fucked themselves up. And the mundanity of those injuries, in a world where the ambulance is never going to come again, just made it all the worse.
