I drive a straight truck for a living and I see alot of stupid **** happen
in 8-10 hrs a day , I think it kinda helps when I'm on my bike , you
learn to watch for things that could happen before they do !
But , hell , I could be taken out in my truck too !

I make no claim to being a wild man, but living in fear is not living.

Yes.

...but on the plus side, it's a pretty cool way to die. You might even get a Bar & Shield tombstone.

My luck I'd be walking down the street and have a beer truck jump the curb and flatten my *** so my ex-wife could tell everyone "I knew that booze was going to kill him someday".

I want to die like my Grandfather, in his sleep. Not screaming and flailing about like the passengers in his car....

What happens if I have a head-on collision while riding on the highway? Judging from realistic simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, I can assume it will be pretty bad.

But seriously, I never even think of it when I get on my bike. After all this time, I still get all excited at the prospect of a ride. I hope that never wears off. Besides, I know where I'm going when I die, and that takes all the stress and fear out of it for me. In fact, I'm kinda looking forward to it.

It's the way I expect to go rather than wearing diapers and making my loved ones sad at looking me because I don't know who they are.

+1 on the Bar & Shield tombstone... Do you think Harley would consider it an intellectual property infringement?
I think one that spins around with some neon lights would be really cool. You can even make it solar powdered.
