About 8 motorcycles passed me one night on I-435 going significantly faster than we were. I figure speeds were in excess of 130 mph.

Helmet law or not, crashing on a motorcycle at 130 won't make any difference. I see the way people drive and it doesn't surprise me to read about stuff like this.

Its the price you pay for the choices you make in life. I know the way they drive there is precious little room for error.
