I know, Dave. And thank you. The only thing I can fault you with is the spiritual consequence of that which you espouse and defend at all cost. That is between God and you. So don't feel like I have any ought against you. And I really do appreciate your words and concern.
Without getting too far into a lovefest with heresy, let me add that if you want to see this as a sign, I would see it as a sign to hang up the two wheeler. There's just too much traffic and too many big cars on the road these days.
I could see the allure of a bike out on the open road, but not in a high-traffic red light shopping district area.
