My brother died from a motorcycle accident just 3 years ago. We had so many plans to ride together,we both were going to get sportbikes. All our plans were cut short by this ******* driver who parked his vehicle across a small country road my brother and his friend were travelling on. To make a long story short they both hit into the vehicle,my brother was riding in the front so he hit first. It was very weird in that he had his helmet,gloves and armoured jacket on,but after the impact with the truck his helmet fell off and he got a bad lash on his head.We was told he died almost immediately after. My family is still trying to deal with this great lost.I know his gone and there's nothing I can do to bring him back,but I would love to ride again. But if I just mention it to anyone they say after what happen to your brother,don't ride you should not. Does this mean I can never ride again,I love riding and miss it so much.I realize that life is precious and we are all here for just awhile.For the past 3 years I've not been involved with any riding or motorcycles as my family would be too worried and disappointed. I keep telling myself to be patient maybe in another 2 or 3 years I could get a motorcycle just for little weekend rides every now and then.I still read up about all the new models and reviews of the new sport bikes. I realize if I ever go back riding again I may have to be a lot more aware of the dangers of riding in areas which are not well known to me or has bad road conditions.I also think a street bike maybe too excessive as these new streetbikes although very,very nice are just too fast and maybe abit more dangerous than say a Suzuki DR 650.There's so many things going through my head,just want to ride again but be safe and not worry my family.Do you think I should just try my best to forget about my strong feelings for riding and try to move on? I realize it's hard and not really fear but for my family I would stay away,at least for my mom.

Hello, dude. I feel your hurt. I have gone down twice, and my children have yelled at me for being a rider. I'm in San Diego. May I stay in contact with you? Thank you.
