First off glad your ok - bikes are replacable unless its very sentimental - I recently left a stop light and had an older lady cut in between stopped traffic from her driveway, her driveway was about 300yds from light and had to use all of my skill to not run down the passenger side of her car. I have been endorsed since 1994? and average 10k-15k/year.

If your starting that "list" here are a few good starters; (1)Always ride in daylight with highbeams on unless your a few car lengths behind someone(was told this at a safety class I took to reduce my bike insurance); (2)Always slow down at intersections when there is vehicles stopped or approaching the stop sign/signal; (3)Flash high/low a few times when cars are preparing to turn or go across your path; (4)Look way ahead in direction of travel, if your looking left/right at scenery you have shortened reaction time substantially. Lastly - FOCUS...FOCUS...FOCUS - always be on the defense

hop my 2¢ helps someone

I'm about 3½ hours north of Cincinnati, I am pretty much right on the lake near Camp Perry National Guard base or twenty minutes west of Cedar Point Amusement Park if you have been there.

Just looking for other riders in my area to ride around with. If you live near Port Clinton and like to ride daily or even if you live within 20-30 miles of me I take longer rides on weekends, hit me up here or https://www.facebook.com/bill.wadsworth.106?ref=bookmark&__nodl&_rdr - I ride as much as possible, last year I think it was around 15K between four bikes. Most of my friends don't have motorcycles and friends I used to ride with either moved or are just to busy.

In case someone else needs info, a friend of mine used this method and it was quite stable - https://youtu.be/3zLXrq8pIpw

Thanks for all the Welcome's, I have checked out Nelson Ledges and Mid-Ohio for track days. Do you have to join sprtbike tracktime to run at Mid-Ohio? I have been remodeling my house and probably won't make it to many track days this year. Track time at Mid-Ohio seems a little steep at $195, but it is a whole lot nicer than Nelson Ledges. I would like to find someone close to me so I can get a better understanding of do's and dont's and what is expected.

Hello members - My name is Bill and I am new to the forum world. My main reason for joining is to find some people to ride with and I would also like to find someone to go to track days as most of the people I was riding with have either moved or quit riding. I have been riding dirt bikes and atv's since I was young and currently have five bikes and ride daily.
