Crash scene while riding

[patmahoney]

I was out enjoying a break from the rain today; riding the high I get from riding my Nomad. I came around a corner on one of my favorite routes and was stopped in my tracks by a LEO road block. As I pulled over I noticed two people being loaded into ambulances, I cut my engine to wait for the road to re-open. A woman standing by the side of the road said "you be careful on that motorcycle" Turns out the people being put in the ambulances were two riders that failed to make it around the next turn. Talking to one of the LEOs I found out the two were speeding and possibly racing when one went down and took out the other. All things considered they were lucky, some broken bones and banged up but both will be fine. LEO said they both just missed several trees.
This got me thinking, how many have witnessed or come across wrecks while riding? Have you ever had second thoughts about riding afterward? We talk about and read about other's wrecks and close calls but does seeing it first hand make you take pause. In my case I was thankful they were relatively okay then cranked up my Nomad and went on my way.
