You will not believe this

I don't remember who said it, pretty sure it was Polonius to his son Leartes.

This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Now this little tidbit is in the context of telling lies, but it also applies to most every facet of our lives.  Being true to yourself means honestly accepting and understanding your limitations.  Not saying you cannot ride, just saying maybe it's time to really look honestly at yourself and decide if you "Should" be on two wheels.  I have many friends that intelligent and have various talents, but have NO business on two wheels, they simply lack some intangible *thing* that allows one to ride safely and effectively.  So, it's worth thinking about, be honest with yourself and decide what to do...

Why the hell would you say that?   He even stated that the guy in the Suburban was charged...AKA it was not his fault.

Accidents happen, just because a guy goes down a few times in a short period of time doesnt mean he should put the keys down.    

I can think of better reason that many less experienced riders should be putting the keys down though.


Busaconvert, I think you know it was just a series of bad luck, put it behind you and keep riding...obviously its something you love to do.
Very, very , very few people have the kind of miles you have logged over the years.
Live to Ride , Ride to Live as they say.

WHY?  Dude, there is no such thing as luck, not really.  Do you know how often I've been CLOSE?  Or even better how many times I've avoided a potentially bad situation altogether just by being in the ride/ planning ahead?  It has NOTHING to do with who is at fault.

My point is valid, the application may not fit though.  Plain and simple some folks have NO business on two wheels, seriously.

Wasn't being a d!ck, was mearly saying it's important to be honest with yourself and your abilities.  Thats all.  

Now reapeat after me "Rev is not a d!ck, Rev is not a d!ck."  

I think its obvious that he has avoided many situations to have survived thru many years and 50,000+ miles of riding a crap load of miles...id wager more miles than most sportbike riders will complete.

Be true to yourself too, tell that to your loved ones as well.


And ah, I think most people that lay down their bikes enough times quit riding anyways...those that keep riding obviously love the sport alot, for them stopping is not an option. Good for them.


a ####? I can think of far worse names to call a guy.
