^ Sorry about your friend..
I guess almost all of us have had some kind of experience that has shaken off that illusion of invincibility. We gotta learn from them, and go on with life in a better and more educated way..
Quite a few incidents of mine have shaped my riding to what it is now.. can't really list all of them but basically, most of them could've been avoided had I been more careful. So I've learnt to be more careful (obviously), never to take any other vehicle on the road for granted (whatever it may be - speed, direction) and always trying to err on the side of caution..
