    Wait, you're saying the son died following a [thankfully edited-out] crash. I thought I was watching a Jerry of the Day (fun follow that shows hilarious but non-injurious ski crashes) offering, Very sad

      That's sad as hell, but if there's a silver lining it's that he died doing something he loved.

            Whenever people say that I think, I doubt he loved hitting rocks at 100 mph or hitting the valley floor after falling 500 ft.

              People tell me I'm crazy for riding a motorcycle, because it's so dangerous. Of course it's dangerous. I know it's dangerous, but who cares? When it warms up, I'm going to start riding again, and if I die on my bike, I'm fine. Life isn't precious enough that we should sacrifice excitement for longevity.

                Get an R1200RT and you won't have to wait for it to warm up. I ride as long as it is dry.

                  I just googled it. It looks like a fun bike, but God wants me to be a cruiser guy. He won't let me consider anything else.

                    I was until my carpal tunnel couldn't handle the Harley's stiff clutch when I decided to get back into biking a couple years ago. I have crossed over.

                        Dang it. I like TK.

                        And 62 is way too young.

                            This should go in a Putin is an Evil and Murderous Tyrant thread. Alexey Navalny. This grieves me greatly as he was a very brave and outspoken critic of Putin. If you haven't watched Navalny (I think on MAX or Prime), you should do so. It essentially proves that Putin is a murderer, as if more proof were needed. Hopefully, this will motivate more protests, not silence.
