No...but I have a feeling I'm gonna have some fun livin' today...

 

if you ride with the constant feeling of impending doom, that could be your subconcious telling you to brush up on your riding skills. But if going out doing something I love means becoming a grease spot on the interstate, I'll see you in the next one (& don't be late) & if I'm a veggie as a result, then pull that plug! There are worse ways to go...

 

It has crossed my mind. My old man is 84 and still riding. He said he would much rather go out on the bike than in a nursing home.

 

Don't worry...she'll be kicking the plug out of the wall on your ventilator so she can get that new SE RK.

 

Afraid of dieing on my bike? Hell that's how I want to go. Not that I have any kind of death wish. I want to live a long full life. But when my time is up that's how i want it to end. I got knocked off my bike last year doing 70 mph and walked to the ambulance. I felt damn lucky after that. Scared me a little when I heard the squealing car tires behind me. It just wasn't my time yet. We all are going to die sooner or later. might as well be doing something you really enjoy. It's that or on top of the old lady. I don't think she would like that to much though.

 

Never! Ride hard and fast most of the time.Would not be a bad way to leave this earth doing something I truly enjoy!

 

If I had to worry about something like that while riding, why would I ride. Seems it would take the total enjoyment out of it. If its gonna happen its gonna happen. Why bother letting worrying about it ruin the ride.

 

Do people who KNIT for stress relief worry about dying with a knitting needle stuck in their carotid artery after missing a difficult stitch??? The only thing I worry about with regard to dying on a motorcycle is whether the wreck will be spectacular enough to dominate discussion topics in coffee shops throughout the county for months! I worry that they will need less than three buckets to carry my body to the morgue! I worry that there will be reusable parts left on my steel yellow horse! I worry that some insecure father will mispronounce my name when invoking the tale of my demise to dissuade his young son from becoming involved with motorcycling. MOST of all I worry that said young son will one day rebel against dad and his neurotic impulses by showing up after school one fine evening on a.....................RICE BURNER!!! :O Worried I might DIE on a motorcycle? PISHAWWW !!!

 

I've never worried much about death, and have lived most of my life 'on the edge'....

Live is short so you might as well do what you enjoy, and what happens happens...

As the old saying goes;

"Cotidie Damnatur Qui Semper Timet" Syrus

("The Man Who Is Constantly In fear Is Everyday Condemned).

 

No, never considered it. If I was worried each time I threw my leg over the seat, then I'd sell 'er off and move along. Living in fear isn't what i'm after.

I may very well die from a motorcycle accident, or from a heart attack, pneumonia, or a shark attack, who knows. I will die however, so i'm going to make the best of it before the time comes.
