This life
the season
Words: TYson Beckford
S
o this is the season of the new riders... and the old. It’s also a time when we lose riders to the after world. The weather is getting warm and bikers, motorists and people tend not to think nor operate safely. We all have known someone who has died riding a motorcycle and those who don’t, then you’re lucky for now. Meaning you unfortunately will, when you least expect it. It’s part of life and it can’t be avoided. At least that’s the way it seems in the blue print of life. Can we really change destiny? Or can we prolong life? I really feel we can change it and we can prolong it if we use our brains and we stay alert when riding and if we avoid putting ourselves and others in clear danger. There are many parties, BBQ’s to attend, bike blessings and also bike nights. A great way to be active and alert is: “If you see something, say something!” Don’t be afraid to speak up to your friend or anyone you see that’s not being safe or who has had too much to drink or is too fatigued to ride. Even if they are not wearing the proper gear, say something. There might not be a next time because they or you won’t be here. Just food for thought. “Burn rubber not your soul.” 140 | SPORTBIKESINCMAG.COM
