Twice within a 3 mile stretch on my way home I had some blue hair pull out in front of me. Apparently a horn does me no good either... need to stop by the hardware store and pick up some ball bearings for when the horn isn't enough.

Not being seen? Some straight pipes ought to do the trick.

Yeah, he plowed into them from behind they never even saw him coming. There was a general bummer buzz going though Cave Creek for a week or two after that.
Fugging truck driver on drugs, dude won't be breathing free air for a LONG time.

****in' spun, meth-headed mother****er. He'll be lucky if the MC's in the joint don't shove a monkey wrench up his ass.

Dude, what's up with all these "G"-smokin' meth-headed mother****ers out here?

Bob Dole (and kindra68) lost another friend on a MC Wednesday night... It's getting to be a regular summertime event around here.

I don't know. Lots of biker gangs to run the stuff? A direct pipeline from Mexico to here?
Lots of wide-open god forsaken territory, too much for the law to cover?

One of the guys on this board (can't remember who) is an addiction counselor who seems to know everythign there is to know about meth, I bet he would know why.

Sorry to hear that Scott. Last year, I noticed some of the deaths were from guys who were pulling trailers on the back of their bikes and hit something in the road causing the trailer to tip, and subsequently causing the bike to go down as well. I'll never pull a trailer, but IMO that kind of defeats the purpose to begin with. If I need to carry that much stuff, I should just take a car/truck.

And it's an all-ages show, too. Young, old, they can't get enough of that garbage.

We had another motorcyclist die in St. Joe yesterday. It seems like an all too common theme that these young sports bike riders are dying in the spring.

I hate to say it but the solution is to not fkn ride motorcycles.

I'm sure many motorcyclists are law abiding citizens but many who gravitate towarda them enjoy thrill seeking behavior and die on their own accord. I see them on the daily doing stupid, unimaginable shit.

This is the thing about motorcycles - you can be the safest, most skilled rider there is, wear all your protective gear, and still get killed getting hit by some idiot in an accident where you have zero fault that would have resulted in no injury at all or bumps and bruises had you been in a car. You want to do it, then do it; your life, your call, certainly not my business. But you're putting yourself at far more risk than you need to.

Funny motorcycle story - a couple of days ago I saw some guy riding a chopper that was way too big for him. Dude looked like he was about five foot nothing - with his hands on the grips his arms were so far up in the air he looked like Daniel Larusso doing the crane.

I see them too, unfortunately. From my house I can hear these bikes accelerating to what has to be at least a hundred miles an hour on residential streets.

There was a time when I was younger I would do some stupid shit in cars that had too much horsepower for my driving ability, so I'm not objectively blind to these thrill seekers behavior. Thankfully I never harmed myself or anyone else.

If you want to ride your bike super fast - find an open stretch of highway. If you want to do wheelies and stunts, find a parking lot.

Just stay off the residential streets. You're going to kill yourself or someone else.

I'm getting ready to pull my chopper out of slumber.

I've been riding since I was 12. Now I'm 62. Started on the dirt.

I have a riding buddy and we go out in the country and ride county roads through the farms on rolling hills and long straightaways.

It's a blast.

I'll never tire from riding.
