I just got an email telling me that a guy I knew online, an op in an IRC channel I also op in, died in a motorcycle accident earlier this week. I didn't know him that well to be honest, but we did have quite a good chat about biking in general just after my accident. It's hit me much harder than it normally would given the relatively loose association... I guess it's that "There but for the grace of $deity..." feeling.

Yeah that can always be wierd.
A friend of mine I knew in the gym (and Went to school with his older brother for years) was always a good one to chat to about bikes.

He found out the hard way you shouldn't upgrade from a 50cc to a cbr250 and listen to your stero whilst driving.

We were driving the same route as what looked like a biker funeral last weekend - about 30 bikes all going slow in convoy. That was really spooky, because, as you say, it's all down to who is lucky and who isn't.
So far, nobody I know has actually died, although one guy had an extremely close call a couple of years back.

I fell out with my best mate of 10 years over a woman..we discussed it and decided to part company for some time....about 6 months later I dialled his number..I know not why....I got no answer...I dialled a gain after about half an hour and got no answer again....
That very day he had a bad crash on his motorcycle comming to visit me to patch things up, ironically he was one of my " old mob " from London, and I was the only one close enough to get to Luton Hospital, to be with him when he died...:(

He is burried close to the village where I live, and none of the old crew come visit him ( it's been 10 years ) but I tend his grave and talk to him often...

I will always miss him, I will always love him.
