i have been in car wrecks before and still drive a car....

I've been in many car wrecks too, yet still drive a car.
I've told the story here before, but my roommate lost his right arm and 90% of his vision after an accident. Another friend he was riding with that night (his accident was later) lost his left leg and his daughter was killed. Another friend lost his life and his 12yr old daughter lost her right leg at the knee and watched her father die.
I could go on about all the different kinds of accidents I've heard about, but why should I? I'm not telling anyone else not to ride. If you do ride, just be safe and don't do stupid shit (I nearly took out a rider when I looked in my mirror and saw him coming up at about 80mph on my drivers side, so I went over to the right a little to allow him some more room and another rider who had fallen behind attempts to pass at a split second behind the other rider on my passengers side...I nearly killed one trying to save the other), and make sure you have control at all times.
As I prefaced prior...it's just not for me. But anyone else that decides to ride, it's up to them.
