I wondered if anyone would put the two together

A few simple rules: Personally, I ride like I am the invisible man. No one can see me, and I expect everyone to be an idiot. Pay close attention to everything around you, and learn to read situations before they become a danger. YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SAFETY! IMO, all these lights and reflectors fool riders into a false sense of security. News flash, you could put stadium lighting on the front of your bike, and you will still be in danger of not being seen. Period. No amount of noise/lighting/horns is a substitute for riding skill and overall situational awareness. Defensive/reactionary riding will get you killed. Ride with a controlled aggression, a little faster than the average traffic, put other vehicles where you want them to be. For example, if you are constantly getting passed on the highway you are not in control of your surroundings and you should speed up. There are situations that result in accidents that are completely out of our control. It happens. But, most motorcycle accidents could be avoided by better situational awareness and overall skill, not big bright lights and loud pipes. Don't rely on inanimate objects to save your ass. A few simple rules: 1. Ride faster than traffic 2. Never hang next to any vehicle, either pass or fall behind if need be 3. Every vehicle at every intersection is going to cut you off 4. Expect every vehicle to change lanes right in front of you, see #2 5. That car approaching behind you at a light will rear end you. Never stop directly behind anything stay to the side Leave a little space and watch him in your mirrors. 6. Your throttle will get you out of more situations safely than your brakes ever will. Sounds like a lot of work? It is, but your life is probably worth it. Once you've done it for awhile though, it becomes second nature. It will greatly improve your cage driving skills as well.

Married 38 years still have each others backs and she is still the best looking woman I know. It takes work from both sides

How about one of these kinda looks like it will move

Been riding over 40 years on July 2 2010 at 7:37 a young girl on a cell phone ran a stop sign from behind a tractor trailer 10 feet in front of me I T-bone her at 45mph I remember everything all I thought was dam this is going to hurt. The bike hit her right front wheel well I came off the bike over the right handle bar I had on a leather coat but the mirror cut thru the coat and ripped thru my stomach and broke of inside me my right hip hit her fender and drove the hip ball thru the socket I somersaulted over the car and landed on my left hip scattering it The girl panicked and stepped on the gas I got my hands up on her front bumper and she pushed me across the parking lot the only thing that stopped her from running me over was my bike wedged under her car and lifted the wheels off the ground. After everything stopped moving I tried to get up but that was not happening I told everyone not to touch me and played dead until the cops got there the first cop on the scene was my oldest son He thought I was in shock but I told him I was ok and what good would my panicking do or help I figured stay as still as possible until to paramedics’ got there To make a long story short my youngest son was getting married in 8 days and I made it to his wedding. Not the Drs orders but with lots of good drugs I made it. Now I’m back to 100% and loving every minute of riding I get (Over 11000 this past summer.) Oh ya to top everything off the girl had no insurance. Back in the early 70s I was coming thru a intersection and a old woman ran the red light and broad sided me at over 60 mph the impact tore the bike in half (KZ 750 twin) and thru me almost 50 yards in to a parking lot I got up with only some minor scrapes and burses from that one and spent the next hour picking up all the pieces parts of my bike and loading them in to a pickup. Do not let fear take charge of your life and destroy something that you love to do.

A good picture of your ass and legs might help us understand the problem better

And I thought you guys were hard on the Harley Guys

Don’t you know that in freeway math 70 = 80

Welcome Manup Have some fun and stir the pot Next to guns Harleys are the thing theses guys like to talk the most about.

Welcome The guy filming him is leaving a lot of metal on the road by the sound of if

[ Every weekend and always going the opposite direction. This past year I only managed a little over 11.000 miles on the bike but only 1.5 years until I retier then the real ride time starts.

Sorry but the KZ is going to the grandson The gold wings are nice riding bikes but not my thing just like the touring Harleys just a big luggage rack on wheels.

Damm how did you get out of there with out them burning you bike LOL Funny thing is I have not been to any of the rallies since I bought my first Harley I am out of here I have to get up for work early. Later

WOW to funny

When that happens it is to raise money for a charity they take donations and buy or get a cheap bike. It’s kind of like when you go to one of those events where you beat up a jap car with a sledgehammer for a buck a swing. I went to many of the rallies over a 10year period with my KZ 1000 and never had any problems or worries. I see there are a lot of misconceptions about MCs you never hear about anything they do good only the bad.

They do not care what you ride most do ride Harleys but they could care less

No if you go to the Any HD Riders out There Thread on the SLO and GO forum you should be good to go there:lol:
