Hope that he is ok
To everyone out there:
Take it easy on your rush to no where, you might miss Cup Match…or your family’s bday…or your next lay.
Hope you’re ok man. Get back to your old self soon!!!
I pray that God will heal this individual.
Some riders think nothing can happen to them. I am so tired of seeing bikes speeding across you only to be just in front of you at a stop sign or traffc light. We need to take their plate numbers and call the police, it works, I have done it many times..
With that being said, I hope this young man recovers well and takes better caution when riding on the road.
