R.I.P.

Well first to your friend. . RIP. . and secondly this could be a sign, not sure. But I will tell you that weird things like that happen all the time. I work in a hospital and just the other day a gentleman died in the 5 minutes his wife had stepped out of the room. He had been in very bad shape for almost a week prior to that and she had stayed by his side the whole time. The nurse told her that sometimes they wait for certain people to show up or certain people to leave before they pass. .and well I guess he just didn't want her to be right by his side when he left (has nothing to do with riding but just an example). All in all, ride safe er' body and anytime you see 346 throw you hand to the sky and represent!!!!

i definitly have started to ride alot safer now, always have all my gear on, helmet, joe rocket leather jacket, joe rocket boots, spine guard, shin and knee guards. its just not worth taking the chance. we would all like to thank everyone for there responses also. no one bastardized this thread with"he should have been wearing a helmet" and **** like that, nothing but comfort. respect and thanks to all!!!!
