As a biker you know it happens, it's all your worst nightmares rolled into one but somehow you manage not to think about it too much, because if you did you would never ride a bike again or ultimately go outside of your front door for fear of some catastrophe befalling you... and you just can't live life that way.
That doesn't however alter the impact when it happens to someone you know well or are very close too.
I got news last night that my ex husband's identical twin has been horrifically injured in a motorcycle accident. Believe me, you don't want the details, it's as bad as it gets.
I haven't slept a wink, I can't get it out of my head...I know it happens, I've known it happen to others around me, you can't ride a bike all your life and not know, but very rarely, if ever, have I known it on this scale of devastation.
You are in my thoughts M.

My BIL's father was killed in a motorcycle accident many years ago, and his step-mom was very badly injured.
I hope your ex-BIL is able to recover from this.
I am so sorry this happened, and I hope he recovers.
So sorry, Jane. As one who once was launched over the handlebars of a Triumph Bonneville with no injury except some scratches and bruses, I know how quickly something bad can happen. Hoping for a recovery.
Any news? x
Oh, ugh, bad news indeed. The mistaken idea that motorcyclists can only hurt themselves doesn't take into account the families left behind. Hope you're ok, Gem.
