There is rarely such a thing as a non-serious motorcycle accident. When a motorcycle is hit by a passenger vehicle or the motorcyclist loses control because of a weather or road condition, serious injury or even death often result.

But what if your livelihood depended on traveling the next 50 or more miles before you stopped?
