I just saw this posted on TSR.com and it hit close to home, so I thought I would post it here. I hope it's not something that's been posted before, but if it is, it doesn't hurt to be reminded. A guy I knew from High School just passed away on Tuesday morning in a motorcycle accident. Someone pulled out in front of him. God bless him & his friends and family. May he rest in peace.
Ride safe everyone...
You didn't see me...
I saw you,
hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line. But, you
didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last
Sunday.
I saw you,
pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.
But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.
I saw you,
change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me,
attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
I saw you,
roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by. But, you
didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette
butt out the car window.
I saw you,
frown at me when I smiled at your children.
But, you didn't see me,
when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.
I saw you,
stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me,
and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.
I saw you,
roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
But, you didn't see me,
and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had
none.
I saw you,
look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me,
cry as my children where born and have their name written over and
in my heart.
I saw you,
change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me,
going home to be with my family.
I saw you,
complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me,
when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
I saw you,
yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn't see me,
pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.
I saw you,
reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road. But, you
didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the
next turn.
I saw you,
race down the road in the rain.
But, you didn't see me,
get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his
date.
I saw you,
run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time. But, you
didn't see me, trying to turn right.
I saw you,
cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But, you
didn't see me, leave the road.
I saw you,
waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me.
I wasn't there.
I saw you,
go home to your family.
But, you didn't see me.
Because, I died that day you cut me off.
I was just a biker,.....
A person with friends and a family.
But, you didn't see me.

You saw her,
repost something you've read before. (I'd never seen it.)
But did you catch the fact that a friend of hers just died? A little patience, my friend ... just like we all need from each other on the road. :kiss3:
i think its really good word and i think thats true the guys judges us.... then they think were all the same but in the end they are wrong....... alot of them say they dont see us its cause they dont pay attention or they say hell move im bigger.... NO RESPECT !!!!
So sorry about your friend, LadyJules :cry:
Thank you for posting a tribute that hopefully makes people think. :kiss3:
Sorry for the loss of a fellow rider. He's on the big highway in the sky.
Ride on.
To the highway in the sky. With no oil slicks, where you never run out of gas, never get hurt and there are no blind cagers on their phones. (And every seat feels like the Boulevard M109R's)
If I died riding though you know what I'd want? My friends to ride, aware of what can happen, but not afraid.
Sorry to hear about your friend my heart and sympathies go out to them :cry: and the you didn't see tribute must be one of the best things I have ever read thank you.
