I'll be "fine" in a week or whatever. This isn't the first... I have the info and tools to approach it... I'm not even the one going through the miscarriage. I'm just a bystander... So as other say, it's not as bad for me, right?
#### those people.

I am so sorry both of you are going through that again. I hope you are able to overcome sooner than later. I understand the numbness. You are right, I do not see riding a motorcycle with dependents as selfish. I think it's only looked at this way because it's just the one person riding it. I look at things like boating, and not only are there fatal accidents, they also include kids drowning etc. Should we say a father is selfish because he wants a ski boat, then takes the kids along and one of them dies in a drowning? Is motorcycling or dirtbiking selfish if you also have your kids riding as well at a very young age? Is it selfish to push your kids into your same hobby so you can keep doing it, putting them at risk? Or is this called living life and having fun, which inherently has risks involved. Man I dislike the word selfish. Seems to be thrown around too easily.
