Hi De!
Yes, you are absolutely right.. I had a very short lived affair with a motorcycle when I was very young. I realized soon after that I was a dead person if I was in an accident with a car or truck.. Like you, the cycle became a thing of a distant past and I never allowed my kids to ride on one or own one. I know Nenmo loved his and enjoyed it very much. To each their own and I certainly would not condemn anyone who chooses to enjoy recreation and the outdoors as they choose to.

As we grow older hopefully we are driven to gain some wisdom. That of course is different than knowledge.

The PAstor of a very large nearby Church lost his dear wife only a couple months ago to cancer. He was five years younger than me. I cannot possibly imagine how much heartbreak and loneliness he has experienced and will continue to do so. We were friends.

Condolescences to the family and you guys big guy.. A horrible time of year for something like this to happen so suddenly..
micro..

Re: “Death of a loved one and family member is always untimely.”
This is the fourth person I've known who was killed on his motorcycle. While I would never want to take away someone else's freedom to do what he loves, I realize that my decision many years ago to stop riding and sell my bike was among the smarter and more mature moves I've made. No matter how careful a person might be, riding a bike in traffic is innately dangerous.

I don't disagree that death is always untimely. That's true enough. But there are things most people can do to lessen the odds of that time being soon.
