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.

No bike in the cards for me anytime in the near future. The whole no job thing makes spending on "fun" stuff not possible.

Never had a passenger. Don't really care to try it out either.

Aw, that's really sweet of you. Maybe by the time you're ready for that I'll have a new job that pays incredibly well and can go to Jersey to visit my daughter and buy your bike and trailer it back here....

I have such a rich fantasy life!
