Saw the Sheriff stop out to a house in Alden earlier this morning that usually has quite a few bikers. In this case I’m hoping it was a warrant rather than …bad news.
Be Safe!

Were the circumstances even related? Unless you’re referring to the lesson of “don’t die when you crash”, then yeah I guess they didn’t learn anything.

Not that they forget to ride them, I think much of the issue is that they are overly anxious to get out, forget to self-check, ride within limits, etc.

I am not against them. It sometimes provides you as a little reminder that this could be anyone of us in these articles. After the one Tuesday, I definitely have a little more hesitation to my riding.
