why is it that every goof in a new challenger wants to race me?

clueless in the sense that when your time is up.. its up. sure you can live
a life of mediocre, mundane existance, tryin to minimize your chances of
a pre-mature death. but is that really living? I think not. if a dear smokes me..
oh well. I can just as easily be smoked by a car while crossing the street,
which according to statistics is a WAY greater probability then hitting a deer with
a motocycle. btw,, getting smoked by a car is exactly what happened to me.
hence my months of absence from abody forums. I see life a bit differently now....

live it.. don't just exist in it.

Can't agree with your outlook, but it is your right.
Myself, I am content knowing that I have raised two amazing kids, and have put them through school, and on their way to living their own lives. My days of stupid stunts are long gone, but at least my grand kids won't refer to me as "that crazy old bastard who dies doing something stupid" .....on two wheels anyway. :-D
