    To each his own, I just personally have no desire to risk almost certain death with a manmade object. Same for bungie jumping, but again it's just me.

    great minds think alike lol

    LOL, that was in my former life LOL!!! Now was 180mph necessary for me to enjoy riding, no I gave in to the temptation and it could have been costly for me and the other two riders doing this on a dark deer infested highway :noway:

    Now, just cruising at 45 mph in the country or 70 on the interstate is just as much fun for me. I absolutely love riding a motorcycle, so who would i be to tell someone they shouldn't do something because I don't agree with it, when in fact they love "it" just as much as I love riding.

    I can't get past the fact that despite all our differences of opinions there are two young men who won't be going home anymore and that is what's most important.

    Wait, you ride a motorcycle, you're risking almost certain death anytime you take it out on a busy road. Don't get me wrong, I had one for several years and enjoyed the heck out of it. But I didn't think of it as a safe activity.

    Regarding skydiving, I did that too, back in college (20+ years ago). It was the biggest rush ever. And I think pilots have the same universal reaction to skydivers. "Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" That's exactly what my best friend's dad, a former Navy fighter pilot & current FedEx pilot, asked me as soon as I mentioned it to him.

    that was my point exactly, "to each his own"
