We all should toast him for going out the way he lived,
-since.. at any time when we are doing exactly that, we can be next,
& which we well know makes life worth risking - in the deed..

Beats a Schumacher outcome, in my book..

May the putative god of speed, convey his immortal spirit ( recklessly, on the pillion,@ shit-hole snappin' pace) to motorcycle valhalla..

I don't subscribe to that and believe anyone who thinks it is karma and a fine thing to "go out" while doing the thing they enjoy - must have been born with a weed-wacker engine in place of a brain.
No-one......should take pleasure from thinking they will DIE doing what they enjoy doing....dying is bad..dying doing your fave thing is no better if anything..worse. Given a choice..I'd choose to die while say rowing a small dingy from Tasmania to Portugal - with no food or water and a piece of string for a paddle..vs dying riding my bike.

Thanks...good observation.

Cool..

& FWIW, I don't subscribe to any of that 'belief' or 'karma' bullshit, either..

Its a matter of how & when.. & maybe it'll be up to you - in some way..

Re life and death. It comes to all, I just hope mine is a dignified death not screaming like a little girl covered in my own filth or wasting away forgotten and alone still sharp enough to know I am not all there but not sharp enough to look after myself.

Re the loss of any rider. Tis a loss to our way of life.
My sympathy to those he left behind.
