My best friends father was almost killed in an accident a year ago. Hes been riding for years. Rides the fully dressed big monsters. He was coming around a corner when a young kid on a crotch rocket was going too fast and ended up in his lane. They both hit each other nearly head on. Kid didn't make it. Bruce was lucky he was riding a big bike, and hes a big guy to boot. He was extremely lucky to have made it out like he did. He was back on his feet and back to work within a couple weeks. And, he now has a big Yamaha and hes out riding again. Knowing what he went through I didnt think he'd get back on one again. My best friend has dumped his R1 a few times doing stupid crap. After his dads accident, I think he learned better.
