Three incidents are always at the front of my mind.
Forty years ago talking to a guy who had lost control on a corner near his home and slid back first into a concrete post. He never regained use of his legs.
Just a few minutes from here a local guy enjoying a ride before going to work was coming around a downhill blind corner and couldn't stop in time to avoid the truck and trailer which was pulling onto the highway. There were a lot of folks at his funeral.
On a fairly straight piece of road near here a young woman was motoring along enjoying the day when a driver coming the other way pulled out to overtake the camper ahead of him. He didn't see her. She didn't might have made it if she had left the road instead of just braking straight.
There are times when I would love to ride again but I don't like the odds.
Be careful out there.
