Its unfortunate how the majority of the fatalities this year have been due to the riders fault. Nothing against them, I just hope that people realize not to misunderstand confidence with skill. Whether they were fooling around or not. RIP. ---

RIP. Believe me I have gone through this befor. My friend died 2 years ago and it wasnt easy getting back on the bike but we rode them to and from the funeral and even though he wasnt riding with us you could still feel him there with you. You gotta respect these bikes and like they said earlier take you time with learning the in’s and out’s and dont ride out of your league. I just sold my bike and man do I miss it. Be safe out there everyone. ---

I moved this to the bike forum for two reasons: 1. It’s about one of your fellow riders More importantly 2. It’s a sad reminder that you need to have a lot of respect for what you are doing. If you aren’t humble enough to understand and accept the risk of riding a motorcycle you shouldn’t do it. RIP and God bless those left behind. ---

> [@bobbyg1243](#): > > i really hate hearing this. i think my bike is going up for sale when i get back, my life is more important to me than these stupid gas prices. Wait a couple of weeks. Think it over. If you’re really not comfortable then sell it. You don’t have to ride, and if you change your mind you can always get back into it. ---
