Fast9r, those words run through my mind every time i go for a ride.These idiots out here don't give a damn about us.Most of them never "SEE" us.So, drivers ed memories aren't such a bad idea after all.

Thank god the guy didn't get killed
Just my 2 cents

I was at my dealer today,and a salesperson told me something i didn't want to hear,but its better that i did,so now i'm telling YOU.
About a week ago a 'BUSA took a hit around my way.It was at a 3lane intersection,the light was red and busaman was in the left lane waiting for the light....the light turns green,and he casually begins to make his left.
And then out of nowhere comes mr.carguy from the far right lane,who is attempting to make HIS left by crossing over the other two lanes,and in the process t-boning busaman.
Thank god....he survived.
However the bike is totaled,as the salesman put it.He said the frame cracked out,so you could only imagine the calibur of the impact and the extent of other damage.

This just goes to show,how unexpecting things can be.....with a very bad driver near by.All the sugar carguy had to do was accept the fact that he made the wrong choice of lane,make a right then turn around anywhere,and go straight through the intersection in the path he so desired,god i hate bad car drivers!
Hopefully he is getting sued for his life,'cause he deserves anything that comes to him!
Be very careful out there,its not ALL about grannies pulling out in front of you.
Bad operators...of all different machines,range from age & gender.
And now,i will reinforce these 5 words.
Scan Identify Predict Decide Execute

SCAN for certain trouble
IDENTIFY what the object is
PREDICT what the object will do
DECIDE what your gonna do
EXECUTE your move
This should be done all the the time,
to me.....there words to live by.
 
Oh God, S.I.P.D.E......... am I really back in Driver's Ed? Anyone have a copy of Red Asphalt...that'll make the trip back so complete.

Bad news, nonetheless, about the rider.
 
Ride your bike like everyone is out there to kill you and I mean kill you.I guess I learned this from my military training and I'm always on battle station alert.Ride safe
 
The only time I every felt at ease was when I was going across the Yuma desert in Arizona. You could see for miles in all directions. Unfortunately, I was in a pathfinder :) . I wish I had my Busa then. That could of been a blast. Bottom line is, you can do but so much, if its ment to be, it'll happen.
