Hello Friends,
I came across this posting on Adventure Rider, a forum I frequent as I love touring. The posting really shook me up, and it should shake up everyone who enjoys our two wheeled sport. It's about one young man's trip south on a KLR. It doesn't end well. You need to read the first thirteen pages to get the full story and the final ending.
I could editorialize and preach and philosophize based on what happened to the young man, but I think we should all be mature enough to come to our own conclusions.
All I would like to say to everyone is ride smart, ride safe, and realize that by riding a motorcycle, you are choosing a path of risk in exchange for freedom and happiness. Make sure that choice is worth it to you.
Take care, everyone.
