| We all do know the risks,and we all know people who have died,and its always sad,and a shock when someone you know has an off,but,you could get knocked down going for a paper !,and at the end of the day,you're here once,i ride very quick,and regularley ride on the road with some seriousley quick lads,on k5's,r1's etc,and one is 56,on a k5 thou,he's the fastest of all of us !i ride alot on track also,having done around 15 this year,but wouldn't give up road riding for anything.
I'm sure if i just found out someone, i knew had been killed,the thought of throwing the towell in, would, like you,cross my mind,but give a thought to the lad whose been killed,would he want you to?,probably not,as he,like the rest of us,died,doing what he did best,riding the f**kin wheels off the bike as it was designed,not lying in bed riddled with cancer having his/my family sat round the bed !,i know which way i'd sooner go !!
How about you ?
Have a drink for phil,this xmas !!
I know he'd want you to !
