that is seriously too bad. i know to some, like me, riding is almost as natural as sitting in the lazy boy and grabbing the remote. but if you don't respect every aspect of the motorcycle, you will eventually get hurt. this is not to say that this gentleman wasn't-it's just that with the joy of swinging your leg over the seat before every ride, there isthe chance that it could just be your last one.

Well said. Its something I don't like to think about and it really keeps me from taking chances. I always think about the sad faces of my family if something happened to me and it keeps me thinking all the time.

I mean not being obsessed with getting hurt, but I do like to have fun, so I guess we each have to find our own balance. As far as the video, I think it takes a lot of guts to not sit around feeling sorry for your self. Kudos to him for speaking about his accident.
