Tons more, but you get the point. Its a risk we all take, and unfortunately, everyone will have their turn.
Ride safe.
It is a risk we all take. The good way outweighs the risk for me personally. As for your statement I highlighted above, and to the old adage "it not a matter of if but when", thats bullshit. Ive been a biker and been around em for a LONG time (I did stop riding for a while because I was stupid aggressive). I knew more than a few that quit riding due to old age with no serious accident history. I firmly believe in the power of words and the mind. If you believe that that shit is going to happen to you, it will. Im not saying it wont but I sure as shit am not going to help it along by believing Im on some destined road to wreckdom.
Peace man, ride safe.
Thanks to everyone for their good words.
It is much appreciated.
