A friend of mine was killed on Sunday morning on his way to work. He was run off the road on his motorcycle. He got airlifted to the hospital and went into surgery. Afterwards a clot formed and caused a stroke. He is an organ donor and he will continue on helping other people survive, just like he did, overcoming addictions in his younger years.
I will always remember my friend for driving down from Delaware just to help me move furniture I bought off Craigslist into a room I was renting in Georgetown. I will always remember him for being a huge Eagles fan and having a tattoo of his seats in Veterans’ Stadium.
At any rate, please, while you are driving, keep an eye out for motorcyclists.
This is the main reason I haven’t yet gotten my motorcycle license. I’m scared to death of people driving who do not see me. In the past week, a friend of mine was at a red light and tapped by a driver who was on a cellphone who did not stop. She was slowing down and misjudged the distance. While this particular friend did not sustain injury, he was so startled, he dropped his new bike. (A used Suzuki)
If anything, I am resolved now to sell my motorcycle before the season ends in October. Someone else can take all the risk.

My hubby drives one….I wish he didn’t!!! I told him to go and buy a convertible if he wants the wind whipping through this hair! So dangerous!
And I’m sorry about your friend! My condolences to you.
I’m sorry that you lost your friend. I watch out for bikes and motorcycles, because I’m actually scared for their well being.
I’m so sorry about your friend. And I wholeheartedly encourage to sell your bike asap. My friend’s husband was killed on his motorcycle two months ago on his way to work too. It’s just not worth the risk. Hugs!
I know a couple of people that were killed riding motorcycles myself. It is so very dangerous. .did you know that some emergency room staff call motorcyclists, “organ donors”? Seriously awful.
I used to love them, so much fun, but I don’t think they’re practical as everyday transportation. Perhaps in a very remote country setting for once in a blue moon rides on low traffic and very wide streets.
Oh no, that’s just terrible. I’m so sorry. I wish drivers were more aware of motor- and bicyclists. I worry about my brothers all of the time because so many drivers are so careless. But I think it’s wonderful that your friend was generous enough to be an organ donor, and I hope he is able to help many people
