Reply #4: motorcycle accidents

[90-percent]

A fellow I used to work with was driving home on 91 South through Central CT. There were two youngsters with crotch rockets weaving about in traffic like squirrels chasing each other around a tree trunk. My friend saw one guy misjudge the tractor trailer and get run over and extremely killed.

Way back in High School, we lost 3 to 5 people on motorcycles. They are a lot of fun, but you are sharing the roads with American Drivers, who can be pretty oblivious to the fact they are guiding 2 tons of steel down the road in as distracted a state as they can come up with.

I also worry about all the new Harley riders that are getting into it as a new fashion statement. You need a lot of education, practice and respect to ride any motorcycle anywhere. It's a lot more than just looking good, if you value you life and your safety.
