That had to be extremely tough to find your friend like that. I would be torn up as well. My condolences to you & his family.

Coincidentally, I just finished the MSF advanced riders course today. It was a good check on abilities and a reminder that ours is a dangerous (but enjoyable) sport that requires our constant vigilence.

Ride for your friend and remember the good times... I suspect he would want you to do that.

I really appreciate all the prayers and support for not only myself but for my friend Bob.  He was a quite man never said a bad word about anyone.   He lost his wife to cancer a few years back and I thought this Harley riding may be a good way for him to get out and meet some new people and move on to a small extent.  He'd only been riding about six months, though he used to ride years ago.  
I've been feeling some what responsiable for this since I convinced Bob he needed to start riding.  So it's been making me sick since the wreck.  I decieded to call his  boys whom I've yet to meet and explain what happen They assured me I was not to  blame, though I feel like I could of done a lot of things different and maybe he'd still be here.  In any case thanks once again for the prayers and for letting me talk!

Our condolences and to the family of your friend as well.  :'( Definately do not feel like you are responsible.  All of us take on risks every day of our lives and if we choose to ride a motorcycle, that is taking on a whole new set of risks.  You buddy knew that and would hate it if he knew you were taking on that responsibility for him.  He decided, you did not force him, to ride a motorcycle.  Still know that it hurts you a lot, and for that I pray you find solace and know that your buddy is now with his wife and hurts no more.

2Soaper: I am new here, and don't know you, but my condolences to you and all who knew your friend.  And I want to echo the comments of those here, you should feel no responsibility; you encouraged a friend to take up of the most enjoyable activities there is; nothing more.  I am a relatively new biker; and my only regret to date is that i didnt get a bike 20 years ago.  All of us know the risks, and live with our eyes open.  I know the pain you are going through for a number of reasons that i wont get into here.  Focus on the good times and know he is in a better place; probably riding two-up with his wife.  Our thoughts are with you . Scot

As usual Hubbard you are right on.  I have lost both my mom and dad these last two years.  You are never prepared but at least with my dad we were more attuned to the situation and knew what was happening.  But something as sudden and unexpected as this crash just puts one in a state of shock.  It takes a while (sometimes quite a long while) to adjust.  You never forget but time does help soften the blow.  Condolenses to you and your fallen brother's family and friends.

It's always tough when we lose a friend.  It seems to be tougher as bikers because we are usually closer to that person than others.  My sincerest condolences on your loss.  My regrets to his family and yours.

Our prayers are with you and your friends family. My wife lost a co-worker of hers last week. He was on his bike and a car crossed 2 lanes of traffic into his lane. He too had also lost his wife to canser last year and had been riding just over a year himself. Remember and rejoice the time the two of you spent together. Again sorry for your loss. Brian
