Glad you're OK Carl.
I've been riding since I was 13 years old and stopped when I got married at 27. Now I'm 57 and the CB is the first bike I've had in 30 yrs. Bought it last October and have less than 1200 miles on it. Since October, I've had no less than 4 near misses on the road, one severe enough that I locked up the bike when a car pulled in front of me. That event still haunts me because it was only by the grace of God that I kept the CB upright and out of the guys back fender.
I guess I'm starting to feel like your friend, I certainly don't remember things being as dangerous on the road as they are now. Too many cell phones and too many people behind the wheel that don't belong there. Or maybe I was just away too long and don't ride as well as I thought I used to.
