    If you ride a MOTORCYCLE, Please READ This........RIP

    Last night a very close friend of mine was killed while riding his motorcycle home from work. A car pulled out in front of him and he died at the scene. He was 22 years old. We just went on a trip to Boston 2 weeks ago to visit his brother and I was supposed to be golfing with him tomorrow. His family is devistated and his brother is still in shock.

    REMEMBER - YOU ARE ALMOST INVISIBLE WHEN RIDING A MOTORCYCLE -

    RIP ANDREW

    Sorry about your friend, but do you think you are telling us something we don't already know?

    The fact is, we are not invisible, it is the cage drivers that just don't pay attention.

            I completely understand - he had the passion even though his parents begged him to give it up.

                        Sorry, but that is as narrow minded as a car driver saying that bikers don't pay attention.

                        Bikers shouldn't weave in and out of traffic the way they do... or ride RIGHT up to the back side of a car hoping to grab a few split seconds to over take so much...

                        And drivers should always keep their eyes open.

                        As a car driver I'm VERY aware of bikers. My friend was a biker and died ... on the road. Because his bike slipped. Not because of another car.

                        I think both should be careful ...

                        instead of either 'side' blaming the other.

                                I could make all kinds of assumptions, but that is all they would be.

                                Most car vs bike wrecks are due to the "I didn't see him" defense. So, STFU.

                                      They are just not worth riding every day. I told him when he got it "if you crash you either die or roll a wheelchair for the rest of your life."

                                        Wrong on both counts. I have crashed and I am alive and not in a wheelchair

                                              sorry to hear that. I have had two close friends die in the past couple of years on a motorcycle. One had been riding for years and the other had one week on it. I rode for years and wont ride again. Just wouldnt be right or smart. To many bad drivers on the road.

                                                tipping over your bike while sitting on it does not count as a crash. Hitting a car square in the side while traveling 50 mph is a crash.

                                                              I have been riding for about 20 years. Sorry about your loss. Very sad news. We hear it over and over, and 99% of the time, its not the riders but someone that doesn't see us. But we choose to ride because we enjoy it. It is very Dangerous.

                                                              Very sorry about your loss, my condolences to you and the family.

                                                                            Ok, and I bet 50% of those are bikers riding like fucking cocks. Fact is Baddog, just because you ride doesn't mean every fucking biker that dies on the bike is in the right. You just pulled a 'statistic' out of your ass.

                                                                            I'm sure you ride safely ... but a LOT of bikers do NOT.

                                                                            Same way a lot of car drivers do NOT.

                                                                                  Yes, watch out for them. But in the UK I think you'll find that if you hit someone from behind, you're to blame. Because you should have taken all of these issues into account and distanced yourself accordingly. If you're driving or riding too close, you'lll smash into someone if they brake and you don't manage to stop... wet roads, slippery leaves, or whatever. You should have been paying attention.

                                                                                  I hit someone from behind in my car a couple of years ago ... my brakes weren't up to the task. I was prosecuted and given a massive fine and points on my licence, because they said I should have taken this into account. The woman ahead was driving a brand new 5 series BMW with perfect brakes. My old car wasn't up to that standard and I guess I didn't take this into account.

                                                                                  If a biker is riding up my ass on the road and they smash into me because I have to brake hard for any reason, they can fucking blame no one but themselves. Goes for car drivers too.

I look over my shoulder every single time I change lanes or go into a junction ... cyclists or motorists could be there ... mirrors don't show it all ...

                                                                                            As a driver; bikers and cyclists, and even scooters, have my respect but not when they don't obey basic traffic rules.

                                                                                            Once again, sorry for your lost.

                                                                                                  The fact is, we are not invisible, it is the cage drivers that just don't pay attention.

                                                                                                  it always helps to be reminded. We all know alot of things , but we dont always follow what we know , sometimes we get busy with life and forget the things that should be so simple to remember. I am certainly guilty of it on occasion.

                                                                                                  A friend of mine's daughter recently fell off a cliff in a freak accident ( part of the bluff just gave way )
                                                                                                  , it has certainly reminded me to be more carefull with my kids near cliffs. not that i didnt know that but, like i say it always helps to be reminded.

                                                                                                    if you ride a sportbike down highway 1 from Fort Bragg to SF you will pack more living into 8 hours than most people will experience in a year.

                                                                                                    and you mitigate the risk by wearing proper gear, raising your attention to hyper level, and keeping your headlight on.
