I've arrived at the scene of 2 Motorcycle fatalities now. Both HD riders, both middle aged men like myself. One was hit by a truck and semi trailer. the other was hit by a car. Both at intersections.

I've owned bikes since I was 15 and love them. I still have a couple in the shed but don't ride any more. I think I'm too aware of my own mortality now. More so after seeing both accidents. The thought of potentially leaving my little girl with no dad kind of takes the enjoyment out of it. I guess it's all in my head but so's the enjoyment of riding.

Cheers
