Yikes. I’ve been feeling more and more worried about idea of riding lately. People just don’t pay attention. ---

Sucks, I’m glad the rider is okay. Having been rear-ended twice in the past several months while completely stopped with my foot still on the brake (once at a red light, once at a 4-way stop), I can safely say that I will never own a motorcycle. There are way too many people on the road who don’t think that paying attention is a very important aspect of driving. :tdown: ---

My god. I can’t tell you how torn I am on owning another bike. So many close calls, visits to the ER for friends, etc. Please be safe. If you’re new take MSF. If you’re a cager keep your damn eyes OPEN, stop sexting and pay attention. Have a fun season! ---

Ah that sucks. Glad the rider is alive at least, although I’d imagine not without injury. I put up my street riding shoes about 4 years ago. After 8 year of riding with no accidents, I felt my time was coming. I’ll get another bike one day, but just for the track. ---

I avoided at LEAST 3 accidents today. I thought it was bad in the south towns but Buffalo and the north towns are actually worse. I can not even imagine being on a bike with the thousands of idiots on the road. ---

I took my bike out a couple of weeks ago. Go figure I took out the day after it was 60 and beautiful out. I had just changed the oil and couldnt resist taking for a short ride in 34 degree weather. I felt uber safe with my HI-VIS work coat complete with reflectors 🙂 . It was like instinct tapping my brake light for people to give them the heads up. I was being super cautious with the cold surfaces/tires and the fact I hadn’t been on it in 6 months. What a tease it was tho. Be safe and God bless ---

Anyone notice the two kids at the bottom right of the picture? 10 bucks says it was the young girl not paying attention. Imagine that.
