Prayers sent up.

I was asked why do you ride that motorcycle knowing it could kill you.

My response ...
As long as I obey the laws of the land, learn to ride meaning take MSF and practice, pay attention to what I am doing, and do not TEMPT GOD I will not leave this world one day sooner on this motorcycle than I would in my bed. God has a time and day in mind to call me home. When he calls I will answer if on my motorcycle or in my bed. Till then I will live my life the way I want too.

I am sure your friend lived life the way he wanted too. God called and he answered. RIP my kindred spirit brother.
