Is it just me, or have we lost an exceptionally high number of bikers in the past couple of months?  It seems like ever since the Phoenix accident, there has been one or two postings a week on here about another biker leaving us.

Makes you think about things in a different light.  Can't help but thinking in a few of those situations "it could have been me."

Wear a Helmet.

Wear Boots.

Wear a Jacket.

Gloves.

Make sure your bike is Road Worthy.

Don't Drink and Ride Like I have for years but not any more.

Have a cuurent Will for your loved ones.

And don't under any circumstance leave on a trip without Jesus in your Heart.

Fire Insurance you know.

Pray for those you ride with and yourself.

That's about all you can do except enjoy the Hades out of each ride.
