Every now and then I'll spook myself and I worry. I have three kids and it's not always the bike that has me worried but just other drivers in general, either taking me out or all of us in the car.
Thursday before we got cut loose for a 4 day week end we were informed about 8 US Marines deaths (all within a 7-8 day period), 2 of them were on motorcycles and another death was actually a daughter in a car accident. I had a bad gut feeling but went riding anyway the next day.
My bud and I ended up riding over 200 miles and even got caught in some heavy rain trying to rush home through the mountains. I had a blast though! Even having gone through a huge puddle with mud and getting my bike super dirty, I didn't mind washing it off the next day, thankful I made it safe and I would be enjoying Easter with family and friends and no unexpected deaths.
I've only been riding for about 2 years, and I really enjoy it.
