Well, I've been riding for 30+ years and have had honda Goldwings and currently ride a 1996 Ultra-Classic Harley.
I will admit that over the course of time I've had many close calls!
I've been down twice,once at 16 years of age and 3 years ago
when I was hit by a deer!!
I have always just tried to use some common sense and have
gone by a statement my dad made to me many years ago.
He told me that when I think I'm the boss then the bike will
show me I'm wrong!
Well, so far I've been pretty lucky and love riding more than
anything else.
I look at it this way.Life itself is a great big risk just going out of
the house these days.
I want to enjoy at least something and that is bikes.
Well, safe riding to you bros!
