 When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,  to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.  They are there for the reason you need them to be.  Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.  Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.  Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.  What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.  The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.  

There are many different responses to crisis. Most survivors have intense feelings after a traumatic event but recover from the trauma; others have more difficulty recovering — especially those who have had previous traumatic experiences, who are faced with ongoing stress, or who lack support from friends and family — and will need additional help.

Re: Help after an accident

B-Dog,

Mee Too. I got nailed by a LOL, [68] back in Jan. Kawasaki KLR 650. I was coming up a local country road 6 miles from home, just got dark. The LOL popped out of her VERY obscure driveway without checking for traffic. She was charged, but she got the case moved all the way to May. I will recover to 98%; Broken Femur, Tibula, & Humerous. All clean breaks & 2 broke through the skin.

I'm 57 & this is my 2nd serious bike wreck. The first was in Germany in 1979; paralyzed my rt arm & shoulder, but mostly recovered. So I'm done with bikes, at least til I retire at 72. They are SO MUCH fun, but it's too much exposure to pain & aggravation.

I'm looking for ways that I can contribute to another biker's safety. Is there a motorcycle safety newsletter that summarizes selected accidents? That always gets peoples' attention & could inform riders about the contibutory factors that caused the accident. Things they could avoid.

Well, let's thank the Good Lord that we are still alive and,

HAPPY EASTER! Al

Re: Help after an accident

If you're looking for a way to help other riders, Please contact M.A.C.
macorg.com and see about expanding their operation into your state.
They're big on putting up MC Awareness billboards and have even managed to get a longer class on motorcycle awareness introduced into the state's Driver's Ed programs.
I lost a brother a year ago, had 3 more people in my chapter hit within 6 mos after that, and got off my ass and got busy.
If I can save one single brother or sister from being hit, it's worth it.
Glad you're still alive to want to help others.
All the best to you.
