Another "Ride safe out there"........

[Rayabusa0818]

I think there are some differences today that were not there 40 years ago.. My parents made me fend for myself.. I actually walked to school, rode my bike to appt's and had to decide for myself when to cross the street.. We rode in the back of pickup trucks after little league while the coach took us to Dairy queen for winning (try that one today)

It certainly was not "careful Johnny, you might stub your toe!, more like "so go clean it out and tape it up dope"

In the last 10-20 years, many kids only know the mini van and if told to walk somewhere, they would not know what a sidewalk is.. I think they lost the ability to 'reason' in some cases.. Self preservation is "first in line at the buffet"

Now it is trauma if their cell phone is not the newest they had to wait on a ride for more than 5 minutes..

is a good thing there are guys like you around still.. I just sit back and hope for "survival of the fittest" anymore

but really, all smartazm aside, I hope you do have some influence on the "clown squad"


I do wish that there was a good alternative to leather myself, especially for every day riding.. I have yet to see a textile pant that really did very well in a crash compared to leather.. (I ride in my work slacks pretty often because leather just is not workable).. All the textile stuff comes apart at the seams or just burns right through..

So what's wrong with arriving at work in leathers

yea well you got all the nursing staff to help you undress too.. I ride 3 miles... take me longer to suit/un suit than to make the ride..

I had never thought of my 43 mile commute as being an advantage before

But, but, but Doyle...........track day??? Ohhhh me O my, my new ride is too pristine to risk sacrifice and if I even considered something like that, I'd have buy some savaged junker 600 or something like that to be able to even come close to staying up with you dudes!!

You can do a trackday on the Busa. Sign up for a novice group to start out. You and your Busa are far safer on the track than on the street. You'll be amazed at what the Busa can do.

Nothing. Do it all the time myself. Nobody in the office has taken a picture though.

yeah for whatever the reason the camera bike slowed down he in fact was just as much to blam as the guy who rear ended him, I got rear ended 2 years ago, glad he was able to save it, also..no matter what we keep a safe distence between bike front to back, so you can account for reaction time ect...also I see a yellow line there but didnt check back to see witch side of the orad it was on...be carefull and glad everyone will be ok

The camera bike had ZERO responsibility for that crash...he had to avoid the Durango...he was even hit by it. ALL riders must maintain control of their bike, the crashed rider failed to maintain a safe distance between himself and the camera bike...he also panicked when he hit the brakes and dumped his bike.
