Happened at 7:30… Guess that explains the police and ambulance pulling on to the 400 at 7:45 this morning that I had to pull over for. That sucks. ---

Yeah it does. My marketing guy here at the agency was also friends with him. He is devastated right now since I told him. He drove past the accident this morning on the way in and had no idea it was his friend. ---

What are we at for the season? This is almost becoming a daily thing unfortunately. While cars are becoming safer, bikes are never going to get any safer I’m assuming than they are now. Maybe the gear a biker wears. ---

I’m going to sell my bike and car because people die on/in both of these everyday. In fact, I’m going to take my classes online and see if I can work from home. Hopefully this prevents me from dying at such a young age. ---

Hopefully this prevents me from dying at such a young age. That’s like saying because I could die in a car accident tonight I might as well go home, bust out the .38, and play russian roulette. Either one could kill me so it’s all the same right? It’s about finding an acceptable level of risk for your situation. For me personally a bike was fine when I was single. If some old lady pulled out in front of me and I splattered myself all over the side of her Buick my family would be sad and I’d be gone but no one really depended on me. Now that I’m married with a kid it’s just not an acceptable level of risk to me anymore. Plus when I rode texting wasn’t even a thing. I feel bad for you riders out there today with cagers trying to touch type and drive at the same time. ---

I just don’t like the people that have the mentality that selling something will make them invincible. You can own what ever you’d like with enough self control and awareness. You can get splattered along the side of a Buick walking through the Wegmans parking lot or sitting down for dinner while one comes through the front of a building as it seems to happen often here in WNY. ---

You have to admit though, riding a bike severely increases your chances of getting hurt/possible death? ---

Someone from one of the black only sport bike gangs went down on the 90w-33w ramp on the second turn. I guess stretched swing arms and wide rear tires aren’t the best for turing.
