today i heard that one of my good friends was killed off his motorbike ,
he was 24 and i can't beleive it , it has shocked me beyond belief It makes u put things into perspective the fact that he will never marry , or have kids , or spend another night with us , today i have sent all my family and friends cards telling them all how much they mean to me why do all the good people die earlier and all the crap , like racists , bullys , killers , etc live its just not fair
sorry to hear of your loss redhead thats tragic.it does seem that all the lowlife of society seem to get away with things but im sure they get their comeuppance eventually.i too have lost friends early in their lives.it does seem so unfair.
thanks guys , i am so shattered by it , he was a great guy where is the justice theres so much scum around here , with tags etc and someone decent , hardworking and kind dies
i am dreading the funeral
but i am going to make the most of my life now as my friend woould have wanted me to xx
So sorry to hear of your loss today.
Somehow it seems to be worse when it happens to someone young. A young life taken. I too have lost a few young relatives but one thing I know. They never grow old in your memory. You will always think of them as being young.
Once you get the funeral over it will get easier.
Chin up and celebrate his life!
To answer your question, The Lord works in mysterious ways.
He gave your friend the free will which ultimately he chose to exercise on a somewhat dangerous past time.
HItler was only 56 when he died, Saddam Hussein 69, Harold Shipman 58, Fred West 54, Myra Hindley 62 and Lenin 54. I.e not one of them reaching their three scores years and ten.
My bloke has been riding motor bikes since he was 12 and only had one serious accident, Barry Sheene despite some horrific crashes on the circuit, died of cancer at 53. noone knows what they are in for but once you get on a motor bike, it seriously hooks you.
Dotty don't get me wrong. I have my full bike license and dallied for a few years on a rather large Kawasaki. Never came off, but had a few scarey moments with some unforeseen wet weather and a pile of leaves I decided to let this hobby rest.
I can see the attraction of speed especially when you spend 140k on a 6 litre supercar only to be beaten of the lights by a 5k lump of Japanese metal, and beaten comfortably!!!
Haven't been on a bike, not even pillion for about 3 years. and to be honest, the older I get the less likely I will
I am sorry to hear your news, I heard today a 42 year old female (I thought she was alot younger and looked fit and healthy) client passed away with a heart attack.
A passing away does make you put things into perspective and your approach is a lovely touch.
:)
I'm sorry to read of your friend leaving us. I too have lost many dear friends, all under 35.
You'll remember him smiling and laughing.
Keep the good memories.

Im very sorry to hear of your loss, especially so young, it does make us put things into perspective when these things happen. Remember the good times and the positives, cry when you need to, dont hold it back.
Whilst we don't know the circumstances surrounding this tragedy, I have to say that from listening to my bloke over the years, most of the near misses he experienced were because of the total ignorance of other road users, he is the most safety concious guy you could meet but he says you can't allow for morons no matter how you try.
I'm sorry :(( it is not for us to work out why the good die young, just treasure the memories you have of your friend and as you have already said it puts things in perspective im sure he would want you to live your life to the full xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
