I'm not a fan of motorcyclists to begin with the way most of the guys on the crotch rockets and some harley drivers seem to think they own the road. Riding between cars, the shoulder, popping wheelies. When I see stuff like this I just can't feel remorse or sorry for them. Somehow I'm happy they just hurt themselves and not someone else and they are no longer on the streets terrorizing people.

Glad to hear your wife and kids are ok physically, but that has to mess with someone mentally.

People like that are better off the way they are now before they really did damage on this planet.

its wrong to make assumptions about all riders based on a few... i cant say im perfect by any means... im one of the ******** who pop wheelies ect but i make sure there isnt much traffic and its relitivley safe to do so (and only when hot girls are in the car next to me) but i do know a lot of riders who are great guys and for the most part follow all the rules.... the sad part is they seem to be the ones who get hurt and die... obviously not in this case but normally its cars not paying attention that hurt riders


*edit* and i dont ride between cars and **** like that but i see it quite a bit and yes they are begging to get clipped

very true. When I ride mine, I gotta ride with the mentality that all the cars on the road are trying to hit me. I follow all rules on my bike and as in my car. Ask Rob, he gets pissed when i don't run yellow lights or go 10 mph over the speed limit.

Partly due to the fact of being a professional driver and being in a truck all day long. Part due to the fact that I've worked hard to get all the endorments on my license that I have. And part to the fact...well....im just careful by nature.....
