It goes both ways.
Some car drivers are frigging idiots and don't pay attention. I've also had motorcyclist pass me doing about a 100 weaving in and out of traffic.

If yo drive a motorcycle on the road then pretend you are invisible.

Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

A few days ago five bikers were killed in and around Knoxville in roughly a 3 day period. I’ll never ride a motorcycle again on a public road.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I read that the one in Logan Canyon was the motorcycle only. It seems we have a couple a year where riders fail to make a curve.
What would Porter Rockwell do?

Daughter lost her boyfriend last October. He hit a turkey vulture. Pretty sad deal. I still ride but feel like my luck is running out. Be careful out there.

WhenI ride it is with the full understanding that "THEY" are out to kill me, and I have to ride in such a way as to prevent that from happening. I have over 100k miles on my HD and no accidents. klatch

My next door neighbor got hit by a car last Wednesday. His right leg below the knee was amputated. He is still in the hospital dealing with other injuries. Needless to say my own motorcycle hasn’t been out in the last few weeks. They are soooo fun to ride buts it’s a risk every time you’re taking.
Tikka this happened in west valley. So another Utah incident.

I think many of them were just trying to avoid pit bulls
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

I’m 66, and still ride. I only go out on Sunday morning for breakfast, and run backcountry roads. Between the Cutips, and kids texting, it ain’t safe anymore.

Started riding at 5. Sold my bike 2 years ago at 50 after a teenage girl tried to kill me. Pushed my luck long enough.

I'm 73 and am not sure if I'll just wear out what I have or buy another one. My eye was caught by a H-D XR1200 that I would like to ride. Not too much power but a little uncivilized. I rode my son's ZX 14 and while I really liked it for the scary power, I disliked it for the same reason and for the uncomfortable seating position. He has decided to replace it with something a little less demanding.
When we ride, I have to remind my wife not to hobble when we stop and get off. I exercise just to be able to swing my leg over the seat on the first try. She used to ride her own bike but now we just ride two-up. We put on thousands of miles on two bikes hauling two kids and a dog. Now, the kids are middle aged, the dog is long gone, but we still like to ride. GD

I have over 100k miles on my HD and no accidents. klatch I rode that way for 45 years. Then someone ran a red light and hit me from behind right after I made a left hand turn. Some things you can't protect against.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
