Don and Gary....I truely sorry for both of your trauma stories...I know how hard it is to see someone close to you badly hurt or killed in a collision....I have been riding for many years and I still ride I have two bikes of my own and am about to buy more for rentals...Motorcycles are like Guns....you have to know what you are doing and understand that they are not toys...you have to have a good healthy respect for both to be able to use them correctly..here is a photo of my bikes with my two children...I'm
trying to teach them respect for the power that they represent.....again, I'm sorry for the lost friend of your son Don.and for your daughters pain, I hope that she recovers 100%
