I had a friend trying to talk me into buy a street bike when I first started driving. I was considering it when news came about one of the mechanics who had just gotten killed on his. Really nice guy with a REALLY cute and pregnant wife. The accident was not his fault, but damn...
A few months later, the guy who was trying to talk me into buy the bike, dumped his hard. I was at his parents house when a tow truck brought the bike back in it's sling. His mother about fainted. He survived without too much damage, but I'd seen enough.
Over the next twenty years two more acquaintances were killed on bikes. My brother was rear ended on his chopper and has a bad back to this day because of it. My brother still rides, but he's always had to figure things out the hard way. What does it take for some people to get a wake up call?
