With a new riding season for many of us just getting under way, I thought I'd post a friendly reminder.
A fellow Motorcyclist who was friends with several of my friends, was out riding yesterday, and made an ultimately fatal choice. For whatever reason he was passing traffic over a double-yellow on a blind right hand turn in a Canyon, and hit a car head-on. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The people in the car he hit, were fortunately okay physically, but will no doubt have nightmares, possibly for the rest of their lives. Not to mention the family members and friends of the rider.
I've made some spectacularly poor choices in all the years I've been riding. Fortunately I've been lucky so far.
I don't make too many bonehead moves these days like passing on a double-yellow in a blind turn, as the older I get, the more I realize things can go very bad, very fast.
Think of those who love you, and try to make wise choices so you come home.
RIP, Mike
