Really a tuff decision and certainly not one you need to make yet. Get through the grieving process and think about what you want to do after that. We can all relate to what you're going through. Whatever your decision is we're all here for support if we can help!

When you feel up to it, you might want to contact OP on this thread. He also felt like he wasn't going to ride anymore, after the death of a friend.

Praying for you and your friend's family.
