I would bet that your friend's husband will be back on his bike too.

It sounds like he may have a long recovery - but I'm sure that your support is important to both of them.
Being new, your friends accident made my head spin! The visions of such action. Just terrible. Plus the...that could happen to me thoughts...
The quote above helped alot in reminding me, that for how many people ride everyday, how many times so far we (I) have rode, there are not many of these accidents to be letting fear govern our (my) joys out on the road. Many prayers for your friends recovery. Let's all get back up and ride.
