    And there's more needless dying..

    According to the State Patrol, Benson was traveling west on the highway on his Suzuki motorcycle and passing vehicles in a no-passing zone when he ran into the left front corner of a Ford pickup that was turning onto Ellicott Highway.

    Yep.
    I've;
    passed on double yellow
    driven drunk (and with other substances - to be unnamed - in my system)
    raced others
    followed too close
    weaved through traffic
    wheelied
    did burn outs
    and most of the other stupid things we see motorists/motorcyclists do every day.

    I've stopped most of them and survived all of them.... amazingly.

    If you're gonna do these things please raise your game (riding ability) so you're more prepared to correct for the stupid, cuz it's comin.

    Nobody here should die. Please.

    Hell, stupid comes even if you are ready.

    But I would offer my own list of infractions, as you mentioned, as I stepped up my game, I noticed I did less and less of these things, becuase as I understood both the nature of the bike and the cages around, the odds just did not play in my favor.

    Unfortunetly I have a very shallow learning curve, but fortunetly I also have a huge bag of luck...
    GSXRScott made me follow him into that corner,...down that hill...there was the time up that washout...crankcase alley...man I gotta stop following him.
