A friend who cares sent this to me::::

you: I saw you hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.

you: I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.
just a biker: But, you didn't see me playing Santa at the local mall.

you: I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
just a biker: But, you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

you: I saw you stare at my long hair.
just a biker: But, you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

you: I saw you roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
just a biker: But, you didn't see me and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.

you: I saw you look in fright at my tattoos.
just a biker: But, you didn't see me, cry as my children were born and have their name written over and in my heart.

you: I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few seconds of precious time.
just a biker: But, you didn't see me trying to turn right.

you: I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
just a biker: But, you didn't see me leave the road.

you: I saw you waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me, I wasn't there.

you: I saw you go home to your family.
just a biker: But, you didn't see me.


Because, I died that day when you cut me off.

I was  "just a biker":
A person with friends, a family and a job, that WILL miss me.
you: But, you didn't see or hear me......................................Do you care?

84%  of motorcycle accidents happen because "I didn't see or hear them coming"
