Local motorcyclist killed

Sounds like she really wishes her son didn't ride a motorcycle. It's got to be hell for Moms.

What I got from the letter:

You can die suddenly while riding a motorcycle.

But then, I already knew that. That's why I'm worth more dead than alive. If things change for me, I'll reevaluate, and probably get a new bike!

Sons grow up to be men, whether mothers like it or not. I can understand her sentiments though... it took a lot to convince my mother that I'd be safe on a motorcycle. It took even more after my lesson in physics, cars in motion and joining the crash club.

Edit: I think knowing that at any moment we could die riding a motorcycle allows us to live our lives to the fullest too... we cherish the moments we have even more because we know in the blink of an eye it could all be taken away.

Very well said. And it's something that the people that always look for the "safest way" are completely oblivious to.
