Actually Jim, you are correct. As I said I am sure right is a matter for the individual. There really is no right. Clearly he died doing what he liked to do.
The last statistics I read were that a motorcycle was about 5 times less likely to be in a two vehicle accident than a car. It was about 20x more likely than a car to be involved in a single vehicle accident. (that is what killed the mom) The difference is if you are in a two car accident there is a 1/100,000 chance you will die. On a motorcycle a 1/177 chance.
Or something close to those numbers. So the risk of dying on a motorcycle is way higher than most other activities. I don't think you can consider a motorcycle as comparable to a car or airplane for safety. Especially if a year ago you lost your wife to a motorcycle accident.
I know John. Lots of mixed emotions about it. ATGATT folks would say if you don't wear the helmet you are pretty stupid. Some would say you deserved to die. I just think if your wife is not a wake up call that you are all that is left for the kids its pretty selfish.
Thanks Moe, that is the one.
