We all must be desensitized to the things that can happen.

Good thing you lived to tell us about it, JP.<br /><br />When much younger, I was riding backwoods trails with a friend, both of us on motorcycles. We'd run this one section of dirt road over and over, going around tight corners and jumps, then coming back and doing it over again. On one pass, I got a little bug up my kiester, and continued uphill into new territory in third gear. On the big Triumph, that meant 65-70 mph. At the top of the hill, there was nothing but a few boulders and air. It was an abandoned quarry, and a drop of a hundred feet or so. Had to lay the bike down to avoid going airborne.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.com
