RIP Shray and sincerest condolences to his family and friends....
and also sincere sympathy and best wishes to the young girl involved in this collision.
There are NEVER any winners in a situation like this, everyone shares the pain in one way or another....
As bike riders, we ALL take a certain amount of risk (no matter how or where we each ride) the moment we leave the garage or driveway. If one cannot justify that (real) risk (and the possible consequences that go hand in hand with it), then one should seriously consider the alternative options available (ie: sell the bike and take up lawn-bowls or knitting or etc, etc.)....
We all know why we do it (the individual reasons are many & varied)....but no-one forces us to ride....and each and every single one of us must accept the risks that (unfortunately) come with the rewards....
footnote:- i personally lost my best mate 10 yrs ago to a m/bike head-on collision with another bike (died on impact), and just last w/end watched my brother heavily crash his '09 'busa directly in front of me (bike written off; bro' expected to make a full recovery.....and already salivating heavily in anticipation of his "new" 'busa
)
.....u roll the dice, u take your chances ! :rulez8bn:
