Jan 2013

and though I've not been there friends of mine have died that way. I'm 59 now and I've seen friends die older and younger than I. Once his brain came out he was dead. Just like a stroke or heart attack or cancer dead, and becoming dead suck. The thing I know is that 30 seconds before he was dead your friend was loving life. Maybe you should consider both that and riding again.
