Man, that hits hard. I can understand why you'd say "don't know if ... again", but you gotta' thank God that it wasn't you. It is a wake-up for us all. Every time I see, or hear of a bad M/C accident, I get the same reaction. I think it's quite normal too. Hell, I even get upset if I get an e-mail with some picture of a rice rocket all twisted. It makes me think too. I know that it is a dangerous thing, and even if we take every precaution, we can still be a victim. The innocent have no protection with this one, and the best thing I can do is to get back on my M/C, and be cautous. BUT, I can then still enjoy myself, 'cause we all gotta' go sometime. I don't mean to sound cold, in fact, I lost a very close friend many years ago. I still see his kid here and there (he's 28 now), and feel bad because his dad never got to watch that boy grow up. He was killed in almost the exact same manner a little over 21 years ago, so his kid (I think) was 7. I'll say a prayed for them; hold my wife real close, and tell her I love her; say a prayer for all of us comming from all the corners of this great country to enjoy a few days in God's beautiful creation.
