I have been procrastinating on selling my Harley for over a year now. When the weather is great in the NW, there is nothing like taking a cruise on a Harley in the foothills of the Cascade mountains.

Then I read this article about Ben Roethlisberger’s motorcycle accident this morning. Presuming he wasn’t driving erratically, it sent me a wake up call and suggests how vulnerable we are when we jump on a bike. It’s not necessarily about how good of a driver you are. Rather, it’s about the other people on the road and how poor they are at driving or their willingness to pay attention to the road.

Anyway, as hard as it is going to be to sell my bike, I’m now sure that it is the right thing to do. It kind of takes some of the joy of riding away when there is that pang of guilt in the back of my mind and I think of my wife and three kids.
