Bad news indeed.
Saw this thread :

"Anyone on the ride yesterday see Aaron?? He has not returned home from the ride yesterday and the family & Cessnock Police are looking for him.

So So Sad to hear of any fatalaties - or any serious crash for that matter.
I could say "We've all come close" - but I don't know ALL.
Please - we can ALL take the time for a wake-up.
The roads are often SHIT!!!
There are sooo many idiots out there in all forms of road user.
It's impossible to be 100% focused ALL the time - but when conditions demand - be at your most alert. OR - rest till you can be.
Shit, I know I've come close - that I'm still alive down to (insert various reasons here)!
Feel free to ask me about Guardian Angels anytime.
I'm serious - and so should we ALL.
There are those that love and need us.
And for the totally selfish - think of all the fun stuff you'd miss.

Terribly sorry to hear about Aaron. I've been thinking about Cobba and his Family and Friends today.
I have just been sitting at home reflecting on the people that are left behind when someone dear passes on and have just come across this unfortunate post.
Sometimes we feel invincible and act accordingly, one thing is for sure and that is none of us last forever. I have had some challenging moments regarding my health over time and have seen those close suffer and how they cope.
The next thing you do, will it impact on the lives of others?
We are not always in control of our destinies but we can have a big influence on them. I urge all riders to take the extra time to get ready for the ride, ride within your abilities, don't drink and ride, don't get carried away with the excitement of the ride, consider other people, look out for your mates and when you wake up for the next day, smile and enjoy it as it is another bonus in your life.
