I’ve lost friends and family members to car accidents too far more than motorcycles. Also have had over a dozen people I know commit suicide. Lost 5 friends in combat in Iraq.

Sooner or later when it’s your time, it’s your time. Death is a simple fact of life. I wouldn’t say I go out of my way seeking it but it no longer scares me the way it used to. It simply exists as a contrast to life.
