Kevin Costner may not be thrilled with starring in this script, so I was recruited. One of my strongest memories of riding motorcycles decades ago was being hit square between the eyes with a June bug. Amazing how such as small moving object can have such an impact. I sported a pink shiny spot in between my eyebrows for a few days.

Yesterday’s ride was almost an exercise in déjà vu. Fortunately, my face shield was down.

For any physics (the ‘f’ word – shudder) nerds out there, if you would like to calculate the collision, start with this:

v₁ = v_1i (m₁ - m₂) / (m₁ + m₂) + v_2i (2 m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)
v₂ = v_1i (2 m₁) / (m₁ + m₂) + v_2i (m₂ - m₁) / (m₂ + m₁)
