[CINDERS]

This is my 5th attempt at this,

On the 6th Nov things in our lives took a rather sharp turn on just how tenuous our grasp with life is here on the planet.
I had originally organised a m/cycle run for the 29/30 Oct but the pub we were staying at was booked so I changed the run to the 5/6 Nov (1st what if).
One of our riders had forgotten her medication her friend she stayed with sourced one of her spares (same medication) rather than the lady ride back home and not attend the run. (2nd what if)

We had the run enjoyed great laughs and meal at the pub staying the night the next morning we were up at 05:30 about and hour earlier than usual and left the hotel at 07:00(3rd what if) as normally we leave at around 08:00.
Normally we all travel together but this lady and friend went North whilst we went West along the way they stopped at York to view some vintage bikes (4th what if).
We got home safely and were watching the news when up pops a motor cycle accident on the Roe highway the news chopper shots detailed the bike. (reality set in)

I knew the route the lady would be on to get to her home I identified her bike by the trellis frame a trait of Ducati's Monster type bike. (Route checked with Google earth)
I had twigged before most of the others apart from her family that it was her involved in the accident, as I rang her good friend with my concerns.
A few hours later I was contacted with the news she did not make it, 47 married two daughters she was a considerably experienced road and track racer.

The police had decided to do a u-turn at those lights which was a t-junction the car she hit propped although the impact showed that the rider almost cleared the rear of the car.
So many questions in my head and all of our group how to be sharing lotsa laughs and soaking up miles of tar then reality just like a broken tape gone!

The funeral was held in Bunbury and 400 ppl were in attendance my wife and I both laid our single yellow roses on her coffin it was pretty emotional stuff.
As 4 days before we buried another friend shooter into the furnace.
Don't know but the what if's are really hurtin'.
