I had a nasty crash last week. Just wanted to tell everyone to look out for sand, and wear your helmet!

 

Maybe this post should read "I am glad I am alive" instead of "I should have died last week"

 

lol do you guys ever think to yourself that you will die on a bike one day? im starting to feel like it is only a matter of time

 

Only you Jpan. I like to think i will live life as long as i can while not being boring. When its my time its my time.

 

I do jpan. I don't expect to be around forever and I certainly don't want to ever get old. If that's how I go at least I'll go doing what I love

 

I hate it when people say that bikes are dangerous and that people who ride them will die on them because that is simply untrue. If you are a careful, alert and a defensive rider you shouldn't die on it. Yes there are idiots out there and that **** happens but if you know that it early in the season and that salt/sand are still on the roads then take it very easy. People die from falling ice off buildings, car accidents, lung cancer and they didn't smoke a day in their life, heart attacks and they exercised and ate healthy. I guess what I am trying to say is that people die every day from random **** things that are considered not dangerous. Riding a bike can be if you are stupid on it. Always pay attention to your surroundings. Try to anticipate and others are going to do and give yourself an out. I know I sound like a MSF instructor here but what they preach will save your skin and your life. Rant over.

Oh and Stevus glad your still here and hopefully not hurt to bad. Heal up quick!

 

everyone dies, not everyone lives....

sometimes when i start to think i could die on a bike, i tell myself i could just as easily die driving the car or walking down the street, and i'm not going to just stay in my house, there's no reason for me to give up what i love doing


but i've never thought that i would die on a bike when i've been riding though... that thought goes right out the window when the starter is thumbed, too much else to think about and enjoy while actually riding.


stevus, glad you made it man, hows the bike? get back up on 2 wheels quick

 

Wreckless decisions cause the majority of serious bike accidents - take drinking and wreckless behavior out of the activity and your chance of serious accident is reduced exponentially. That is my belief.....

 

Hope youre ok bro!!

 

i actually feel safer on my bike then i do in my truck for some reason....
