How can you ride that bike with one leg, how can you ride up the side of that mountain, what are you doing out riding your motorcycle in the snow. You have no idea what tomorrow might bring , so I'm doing this stuff while I can . Expand That's the first thing i noticed when i started going out on TRF runs again was the you don't want to be going out on your own its dangerous or its not worth the risk comments. My usual reply is, It's also dangerous when i cross the road half asleep to get to my works van in the mornings but i still do it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
