A bit of a quandry...

The son of a good friend was in a serious motorcycle accident this week. He's hospitalized with severe head and brain trauma and it's still uncertain if he will recover. This accident hits a little close to home.

This young man wasn't wearing a helmet which is never a good idea when riding a motorcycle. I wear full protective gear - head to toe. My husband has taken many safety and riding classes. I've felt fairly safe riding behind him, even at 100 mph.

But now, I'm thinking about whether I should continue with my motorcycle adventures or hang up the helmet and gear for good.
