Serious Side

Please if you are going to ride a motorcycle do everything you can to be safe - and wear the face visor down whatever you do your not really safe with it up. This is not a warning based on some football player in the headlines, it is based on a co-worker whose funeral isn't being scheduled ( just yet) as he was wearing his helmet but had his face visor up. He is in critical condition and one of the strongest people I know, and my thoughts and prayers are with him, his wife and daughter. He hit a concrete barrier and then was thrown face first into the guard rail and without the helmet, he'd have been instantly killed, with it he is at least given a shot at coming out of situation.
Suddenly my problems don't seem so big.
