I had a new riding buddy, you guys might remember who fell 3 times on a ride.turns out he had a concussion and tried to hide it.talked to him once after the fall and he was still hurting.So I figured I'll let him call me when he is ready.Victim #2 Ken a friend of mine rode allot years ago.Sometimes we talk about the old days 50=60 mile rides.I told him i still ride them.i'd like him to ride with me again.This has been going on for over a year.I bumped into him today at the store.He started riding and when he got into shape I was to receive a phone call.After a 2 hour ride he keeled over ,when he woke up he had a triple bypass.he pulled up his shirt and showed me the scares.Thats it I'm done i'm never asking anyone to ride again.Call me the Lone Ranger.

Re #2 friend, at least he woke up and in six months he will be riding again. That's if his boss will let him.

Darn. I read your post. I m really scared - is your bad luck contagious by internet?

OK Mr. Ranger.......and don't forget to change your screen name. Apparently, the people you meet are having the wrong kind of luck.

Shamrock, let me know if you're ever in my area so I can hide.

I am not afraid of you , Shamrock . I always carry a horseshoe with me all the time .
