26 years old on a 2008 Ducati on the wrong side of the road.  As a father of three, the father of a motorcyclist, as a lifelong motorcyclist, as a longtime motorcycle safety instructor...  I just shudder.

It is sad.  I could bave been a statistic just like this young man, except for fate.  I rode like an idiot in my early twenties, and only slowed down when my first child was born, and only learned *how* to ride when I finally took the basic rider class at age 28.
