I’m a big chicken - going to keep it in the dirt…
I am booked in to test ride a new Monster, a new Paningale, and a new M1000RR this afternoon. I’m going to cancel.
A friend of a friend didn’t make it home from a ride on Monday. He was a very experienced rider and died from a single vehicle accident on the highway. It is unclear if a second vehicle was involved or caused this.
I sold my last 2 street bikes because of near misses with other drivers. Sometimes it takes a horrible incident like what happened to Trent on Monday to remind me that nothing has changed and we aren’t invincible.
I’m going to keep up the dirt / bush riding and keep to 4 wheels on the roadways.
Better to be a live chicken than a dead rooster.
