I agree- it is called "living" and that is also why they are called accidents- no one plans on crashing. Only people who ride motorcycles understand why a dog sticks his head out a window!!!! RIDE AND BE SAFE ;)

Guys I work with who do fatal crash investigations have stated..."I cannot believe you still ride a motorcycle." One guy actually sold his -- because he said he got freaked out -- I think it was because his wife made him sell it.
Each day I choose to live and, to me, the feeling I get while riding my motorcycle is how I know I am alive. |

I would hate to think that I missed out something because some one else thought it would hurt or kill me, if this were the case I don't think I could leave my house or move from my bed. I am always taking care of myself and that is what it boils down too. I can't walk in any mans shoes and I don't ever want them to walk in mine. if its somehting you love then do it! I know all that are on this site love what they have in motorcycling and thats what counts. be as safe as you can be and enjoy everthing that comes your way you only get to go around once.
ride safe. |

No one knows exactly how much time they have...each of us only has so many days. We should not be afraid of what will happen around every corner, but should be thankful for the time we are given. We need to make the most of every day, because some day we will have to give an account for the time we had.

I went by the accident shortly after it occurred and knew the results were lousy. However, after caring for friends and family with Alzheimers and Cancer, I personally don't think this is a bad way to check out.

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.
