Just took the poll. Right now, it is 65% no 35% yes, so at least the majority of people taking the poll aren't totally insane, but the cagers who think that we do make the streets more dangerous are probably the same ones who are too lazy to check their blind spots in traffic, let alone take an online quiz. Just MHO. Kevin  BTW there is another post on that site on the leftEDIT: (RIGHT)  side 1/2 of the way down that is a little too propaganda ridden for me...coincidence, I THINK NOT!!! (MOTORCYCLE MAYHEM) |

Not gonna lie, I figure there's a pretty decent chunk of a hole riders out there, not all on crotchies either.. my friend's dad has a Hayabusa but he isn't the kind of guy to go do retarded stuff. There's definitely plenty of idiots out there.. and I'm sure more than one of us is guilty of the same at one time or another, it just sucks that its happening much more regularly now.

Cowboys like us sure do have fun, racin the wind, chasin the sun. We\'ll take the long way around back to square one. Today we\'re just outlaws out on the run. There\'ll be no regrets, no worries and such, for cowboys like us.

Here's the comment I left on the blog. I doubt it will pass the moderators approval though.
"Well you get what is coming when you act like that. This was no "accident". Accidents happen when someone doesn't expect it and you're "behaving" yourself. This was pure recklessness and total disregard for their own life as well as others on the road as well. They took the risk when they rode like that."

Here was my reply on the blog.
Sorry for the two young mens friends and families. They are the ones that loose in this one.
But I have to say,its not just young motorcycle riders that are a problem. Young people with no respect for them selves and the rest of the people on the road are the root of the problem.
This covers people texting or talking on the cell phone while driving, weaving in and out of traffic on a bike or in a car, and just plain not paying any attention to what is going on around them, because they don’t want to.
Motorcycles and cars are only as dangerous as the person operating them is. If you have an out of control person you have an out of control rider/ driver.
I rode dirt bikes from the time i was 6 or 7 years old until i was 18. Got my motorcycle license at 19 and only every had a small 250 cc on road off road bike because I knew with any more power i would have used it, and probably gotten hurt or killed. Or worse hurt or killed some one else. But I was taught to take responsibility for myself and my actions when I was young. Plus I crashed enough dirt bikes to know I was not bullet proof. So the spot bikes never entered into my life. I wore the 250 cc bike out in 4 years and never replaced it. I kept the motorcycle license right along.
17 years later I now have my first real street bike, its a cruiser not a sport bike. And I am glad to say I am not “a crazy rider” any more. It took me a long time to be sure the dare devil in me was under control. Some people still say its there, but it is in check most of the time.
It seems many younger people just play the game and assume it will never happen to them. But sadly they are wrong! It can happen to any one at any time. Going fast or not. Paying attention or not.
The key is every one needs to remember that we alone are responsible for all of our actions. And being out of control is fun, but it does not belong on the road!
Other people are on the road with you, and you never know what is up ahead on the road.
Its time to stop blaming the bikes and start placing the blame were it belongs.
Just my 2 cents. |
