Need a few prayers

[3Deep]

Got a call this morning that a cousin of mine was killed this morning in a motorcycle wreck, just talk with him about two weeks ago and told him to be careful being that he was a new bike rider.  It hurts to see a young person life go so soon...if your a bike rider or know someone that is please tell them to be careful and respect the machine.

thanks
Darryl

Sorry to hear that Darryl. I ride and think of it sometimes. Its a risk we take ever time we get on the street or streak across the desert.

[Itsa Little CrOoked]

Yup. My 2nd child and oldest son, re-arranged a guard rail west of Gunnison Colorado a few years ago on a fast right handed sweeper he over cooked with his beautiful Suzuki Bandit. I'll never forget the feeling of seeing that wadded up hunk of metal from the saddle of my aging Gold Wing. Then riding in the back of a pickup, trying to keep him from bleeding to death in the way to the E.R. He'll need a new knee someday, but thank God, he fared better than your cousin. Waaayy better.

A slow learner (like his dad), now 27 year-old Jay is leaving tomorrow morning for Eureka Springs on his Harley. He is much smarter 10 years later, but its still a risk all us riders take.

I think I'll relate your story, and then wish him another safe trip.

Then I'll pray for him, and you.....and your grieving family.

I'm so sorry for your loss.....

I used to feel a little bit wussy feeling nervous on freeways. Then as I got more and more relaxed, I realized that a little fear and concern is very realistically healthy to aid caution.
Even on back roads, we are vulnerable to inattentive cagers.

Sorry about your loss Darryl.

I don't ride nearly as much as I used to, and I'm always a bit spooked when I go out now, especially with a car waiting to pull out from a side road. I'm always covering the brakes, the horn, and the clutch "just in case".
Then there's the crap you can't always anticipate. I was coming down the interstate downtown one lunch hour and noticed a flatbed truck hauling masonite sheets with only one strap across the middle of the load. The wind was lifting the leading edge, and I was a bit leery about it. Sure enough, the top piece snapped in half, and one piece came cartwheeling in my general direction. Had I been a second or two farther ahead and not been paying attention, I would've found myself dealing with matters of life-threatening necessity. Got a good jolt of adrenaline out of it, though.
For anyone thinking about two wheels, the Motorcycle Safety Course is money well spent. There's still stuff that goes thru my noggin from the class when I'm out, and that was 30 years ago.

D so sorry to hear that, its sad when we lose a loved one but when they are so young it seems to hurt more. My prayers are with you and your family.
And your welcome anytime to come visit me and bring a pole.
