About 2 miles from my house on Falkenburg Road in Brandon, Florida, a rider lost his life taking a long left sweeping turn at high speed, he lost it on some sand in the road, and hit a fire hydrant surrounded by concrete posts. I didnt know the rider, alot of guys at Barneys Suzuki in Tampa did, it just really broke my heart to see that.
I have a thought for us to ponder. We know this is a dangerous activity, but I wanted to take a moment to consider the people who love us and support us. This is our children, our spouses, our friends, our moms and dads. I dont mean to get so deep into this, but we are surrounded by people who not only love us, but are dependent on us. How many of us have life insurance? How many of us have disability insurance? I think we so hung up on making sure our bikes are insured, we never stop to think about us. I know that between my life and disability insurance, it costs about as much as my bike insurance, and it's worth every penny.
I just wanted to my fellow riders to consider the wives and children who are dependant on us. If something happens to us, are they taken care of? Will your children be able to pay for college? Will your wife be able to make the house payments? How will their life change if something happens to you? My insurance policy will pay Jennifer $250,000 if something happens to me. I think leaving a legacy is much better than stranding your family.
I'm not trying to sell life insurance, but they say you're entire life flashes before you the instant you're taken out of this world. In that moment of reflection, will you know that you're family is going to be ok? Or are you hoping that her next husband will have enough sense to get your kids through college?
just food for thought
