In the last two years I've lost 4 friends I graduated HS with, all under 60 years old:
1. Art: Died from complications from a stroke. Didn't smoke, drink, or otherwise do stupid stuff. He did ride a Harley, which had nothing to do with his death.
2. Jim: Died from brain cancer. Used to ride a Yamaha 650 bout 30 years ago.
3. Mickey: Health nut. Ate right, didn't smoke or drink. Ran every day. Died in the middle of his morning run with one of those 'widow-maker' heart attacks.
4. Chris: Didn't smoke or drink. Maybe a tad overweight but not obese. Another 'widow-maker' heart attack.
And there's one of the owners of Frazier's HD in Buford, GA.
Ralph, Jr. Killed while seeking shelter during a storm on a motorcycle camping trip ... by a damn falling tree!!!
Yeah, motorcycles are dangerous!

I think it's got to do with your comfort level while you're riding and if those experiences got to you that bad then you're probably making the right decision. I've been hit before and damned near met my maker but after a little hiatus I got right back on again. So maybe you need a break for a while before you make the final decision. If your mind's already made up to sell, good luck with the sale.

Its a personal decision...
I have my family's security in jeopardy everyday by owning my own business, just as much as when Im riding... Two different kinds of security, but none the less... Risk vs Reward. Everyone has a different threshold for the relationship between risk and reward...
