Rant: 3 different knuckleheads doing wheelies down the interstates...
Unbelievable...one guy almost went into the back of a truck merging on; he was busy looking back to see who's watching him. That and all three braintrusts had on jeans and a t-shirt...reminded me of this link I've had bookmarked:

So all bikers here: ride smart and safe...I'd hate to see an AWMA'er professionally. :/

I think its part of the Natural Selection of life....
Just so they dont wipe out in front of ME...!
My track friend in Chicago witnessed a REAL NASTY one last week outside Chicago... guy was at about 80 right out of a toll stop...sweverd thru 2 lanes of traffic hoping to hit the left lane & speed off...trouble was that the left lane was closed off with jersey barriers for construction... he went up onto them and then skidded a long time before he stopped, basically in front of Rick. The rider was still breathing when the ambulnace arrived.. Hopefully he lived.
Amazing what a millisecond bad decision can result in..!

But the thing about her is she was taken off the back of that bike by the freaking wind.
Mother nature is out of peoples control. And you dont even have to be driving like an idiot on a bike to have something like that happen to you. All it takes is a bad bump in the road or another driver. It's not just a matter of driving fast. There are fast drivers that are safe drivers. But when it comes to a bike, all you have between you and asphalt is clothing. To me, that's not good enough.
I really hope all of you bike owners are so very careful out there on the roads. Motorcycles truly scare me, no matter who is at the handles.
Ok, I am done being the forum mom for today.
