What I have noticed is that a lot of deaths are happening because riders are losing control.

Also, the roads this year are far worse that I have seen in previous years. I almost hit a pot hole so long it would have sunk my front tire and tossed me over.

It is very sad...the roads are aweful this year due to construction and the amount of rain. Thus I am also very picky about who I ride with. Prayers out to those....

I'm assuming lots of alcohol and lack of judgement went into that one.

The others earlier in the week were also in the wee hours and involved hitting stationary vehicles on the side of the road, I'm guessing similar factors were at play. It's sad when anyone loses their life, with so little room for mistakes on a motorcycle I would hope more people would think about how and when to ride. I'd like to see the news/police report on helmet usage as they do seatbelts in accidents.

agree with you the roads are all torn um. why are they strip paving you cross the lines and huge crator effect being on a bigger bike my tire wouldnt get stuck but i could see a 250 maybe getting stuck, and pot holes so deep it would swallow the moon in places

In the last 5 days I've had about 5 people come over on me or flat cut me off. I'm on a FJR how much bigger does it get? I think cage drivers are just not paying attention. It's the end of the summer, there minds are elsewhere, kids are going back to school. Time to park the bike for a couple weeks and only drive the Super Bus! Be very defensive out there! Ride safe, shiny side up my friends!

A Chihuahua decided to try and occupy the same space as me the other day. I started honking my horn and the lady texting turned the wheel the opposite way. The chihuahua look a little pissed and the lady mouthed sorry. Damn dogs.
