But then the following weekend he was riding by himself, went down, and died. (Broken ribs punctured his heart and lungs.) I was probably 26 before I would get on a bike again and I was scared SHITLESS for quite some time.

Since then I've wanted to learn to ride but there hasn't been a bike available for me to do so. Hopefully some day there will be chance though becuase I'd like to give it a try and see how I feel about it. I also want to drag knee 2-up. I've come pretty close and it was awesome!
ahh... just wondered cause you say you prefer riding passenger fast to riding fast... I'd be surprised if you still said the same after getting a decent amount of riding time under your belt.

you should talk to Drewpy or Psycho Child... she's got a little 250 Rebel for sale.
