Sad story indeed.

Reminder to all of us to be careful out there and make safe choices when riding.


Speeding + alcohol + riding = TROUBLE

You have to hope that these stories make people stop and think. What are the consequences of my actions?
You can NOT remind people often enough about the dangers.

> almost 75-percent of motorcycle drivers involved in crashes were not wearing helmets
> of the 22 people who were killed on motorcycles, almost 38 percent involved alcohol

That sort of says it all doesn't it? They would most likely still be able to ride another day if they'd just used some common sense, and worn helmets. Damn shame.

"The South Dakota Office of Accident Records reports in 2006 almost 75-percent of motorcycle drivers involved in crashes were not wearing helmets."   I'm not certain what point they were trying to make with this comment, since in any state where helmets are not required by law I would guess about 75% don't wear one.  Now if they had said that in the 22 fatal accidents 75% were not wearing helmets, the statement might have a little more impact.

I get the willies every time I ride or drive past a bar and see a bunch of bikes parked there.  Drinking and driving in a car is bad enough, but on a bike it is beyond a doubt one of the dumbest things you can do.  As we all know (or should know), riding a bike takes a lot more skill than guiding the old cage home at 2:00 am.  And when it comes to those sudden stops, at least the cage has some safety features that will protect you from yourself.  

If you must drink, please leave the bike at home and utilize a designated driver for the cage.  The life you save may be your own, or maybe even mine.
