Sad for sure. I go over to Puyallup a couple of times a year, I know right where that is.[&:]

 

squids come in all ages. has nothing to do with age everything to do with attitude.

still sad.

some sort of fallen riders tribute would be nice.

 

ya know what, if i could pick one way to go that would be it, riding, doing something i love.

If your number was up and it was your time to go would you be happy with how you have lived? I know i would be at peace going anytime, i have no regrets, no nothing. Id go happy. My wifes coworker was talking to my wife about the Mayan calander, and how it ends in 2012, and alot of people think the world will end then. and she got all worried, and said if thats true i will change how i live, I wouldnt. Id be up there having a ball... ever look at theclouds? They would make nice jumps on the klx, id tear it up!Thats how i live now. How would you live if you knew the end was close?

Reminds me of the song from the rapper "mase" What would you do if you knew you had 24 hours to live? Id say bye to my family, and put my wife on my bike and ride. what would you do?

 

heh, me and my friends concluded that if i were to be diagnosed with cander/aids etc id do the following

A)do 5 lines of coke
B)ride up to the bently chrvrolet downtown
C)steal a vette
D)get on the interstate, get it up to 206 and kiss a pine tree.
D#2)if i could make it, id go to the grand canyon with the vette and so sailing off of that.
ive always planned to go out with a bang, not just lie down and take it.

and of corse if i had the time i'd go riding and stuff to, on tracks etc.
but i wouldnt say bye, thats just sorta like impending it on someone. letting someone know youll never see them again. the fact theyll try to stop you and be with you and fail, and blame themselvs. i couldnt do that.


not to make light of the kid this thread is based on[&o]

 

I feel for the old guy he hit who will be traumatized probably for life by the young guys reckless actions.

 

Hmmmm I'm gonna givea different prespectiveif I found out I had a short time to live.

A. Get my affairs in order
B. Make sure that my wife and son were going to be OK when I was gone
C. Try and get more life insurance
D. Teach my wife how to check oil and change a flat tire
E. Teach my son as much as I could with the time I had left
F. Spend every moment appreciating the time I had left
G. Make a video diary for after when I'm gone.
H. Hug them each and every day and never take anything for granted
I. End my membership on this and any other time consuming forum in order not to spend any time away from them

In fact I am still fairly healthy, I'm going to start getting on this list right now, there is no time like the present.



That about summs it up.

 

Well stated Deej

 

the main difference, noone depends on me. i have noone i support, if i died the only thing that would change is that id be gone, a handfull of people would loose a friend and thered be about $12,000 worth of riderless machines in my yard. nothing would change. i wish i could say what you did deej, but if i did i wouldnt be able to mean it.

 

i think his attitude was definitely a factor, but still a tragedy none the less

i've developed this habit of knocking on wood or my head anytime the thought of me dying pops into my mind, mostly about riding. so i guess that's a good sign thati would not be ready to die right now. and i would rather not know when i am going to die, because if i do, i would like it to be a lesson to myself that i should have lived every second of my life like it was the last, no reason why death should make u want to live, kind of senseless

 

+50trillion

i always live like im gonna die next tuesday, im just sayin' if it was garunteed... id go out loud and fast, NEVER slow and quiet.
