Never good news when someone passes away under those circumstances. DoWork you never know when your going to take your last breath. There is nothing wrong with getting motorcycle. You only increase your odds of getting injured by being unaware of your surroundings and acting foolishly. This is true with all things so don't let that stop you. Some of the best times I have had have been out on the road on my bike with my other half. I brought my bike back from Lakeland, Florida back in July without incident, 1400 miles. String very sorry to hear about your friend.....

Very sorry for your loss. I lost a close friend and riding buddy to a motorcycle accident about 3 weeks ago. I will keep you and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
