I have been riding for the past 33 years and a life member of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) for almost all of them. It's scary thinking of all the people out there that don't see you and then it's amazing to think of all the people out there that just don't care. Most bikers are killed or maimed by people who aren't paying attention to other motorists and who think that just because they're bigger than you that they have the right of way and f*** you if you don't like it. I have had many run-ins with these types.
God Bless you Larry and my sympathy and condolences to your family. Another needless tragedy that will most likely go unpunished.
