I'm still married, but our kids are now grown and on their own.
Every spring, I think that a new (to me) street bike would be a great thing to have and every spring I see the carnage involving guys on bikes.
A guy I worked with recently lost his life in an accident that would have been little more than a fender bender had he been driving a car. He was at fault, not that it matters. The killer is that this really decent fellow left behind a wife and three young children.
The fatality rate per mile traveled for bike riders is about 25X what it is for those driving cars.
Maybe those who have people depending upon them shouldn't be riding bikes?
In this case, our garage tech had actually told the guy "dude, you got a wife and three kids. Your bike days are over".
The guy who died replied that he was safe because he was careful.
Food for thought.
