#208538 Jade68454 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1236 stopping in the break down lane 2 Years, 7 Months ago   what do all of you guys think of stopping for brakes in the breakdown lane??? i see motorcyclist stopping on the side of the highway all the time just to take a break or mess with something....someone I ride with thinks nothing of it... I think its very dangerous all i think about is the "cop" shows and cages smashing into other cages on the side of the road....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #208540 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts. Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:stopping in the break down lane 2 Years, 7 Months ago   I don't think it's wise either Jade68454. If it's just a break I'd look for a rest stop or the next exit to get off the race track. Leave it to some bozo who thinks it's funny trying to see how close he can get to ya without hitting your purty scooter.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/07/02 19:57 By PapaTom.   FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #208541 CSnakes (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 107 Re:stopping in the break down lane 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Agreed. There are plenty of places to stop and stretch or check something on the bike out that are safer than the shoulder on a highway. When I see someone pulled over on the side of the highway I always assume they are having trouble.

Moderator Posts: 11731 Re:stopping in the break down lane 2 Years, 7 Months ago   I don't even do side of the rode if I brake down. I will push it way off the road. Rest stops are done in parking lots, driveways or some other off the road place.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #208556 Road_Hawg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:stopping in the break down lane 2 Years, 7 Months ago   I am with all of ya on this. If I break down on the highway or any other road for that matter, I try to get my bike or cage as far off the road as possible. If the landscape allows, I will even pull of of the shoulder off in the grass. Too many idjits driving these days to trust my safety to them.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #208600 FINN (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 115 Re:stopping in the break down lane 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Ditto,seems like people get zoned in on you and head right for ya. It's amazing how many police cars get blasted on the side of the road!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1127 Re:stopping in the break down lane 2 Years, 7 Months ago   I think it's like turning a cycle. LOOK where you want the bike to go. They're so fixated on the "broken down/cops" vehicle, that they drive right into it. No way am I gonna park on the side of a highway to take a break w/ cars flying by me @ 60+ mph.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #208694 Big Dawg (User) On the road again . . . Platinum Boarder Posts: 1132 Re:stopping in the break down lane 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Agreed! Even if there's nothing right there at the the exit, jet getting off on the ramp shoulder is safer than staying on the side of a highway.

They take the off ramp and cross over the roadway at the top, then pull over on the freeway on-ramp to take a break or a nap. The logic is when a person is exiting the freeway they are probably tired and not paying close attention as opposed to the guy getting on the freeway is starting out after a cup of coffee or just beginning the trip so he is more alert. Also toward the top of the on ramp vehicle speed is not that fast yet.   Logged     Ask Jesus for Forgiveness before it is too late!   The administrator has disabled public write access.
