Please remember...
SAFETY FIRST. But not even that keeps you out of danger all the time...
THIS thread is about a friend of mine... Somehow these things are always different when it's someone you actually know. I guess it's just Tangie's PSA for the day.... Be safe out there.

My friend still has an aircast on his ankle, and he probably should still have a sling on b/c he tore something in his shoulder. The important thing is that his riding gear and helmet saved his life. Had he been wearing riding boots, his ankle might even be less injured.
I had another friend get hit about a week after this one. He was rearended on his bike. Bunged up shoulder and stuff... still sore about 3 weeks later, but again, saved by his gear. Both bikes in both tales were totalled. Be safe, people. Cagers are everywhere and they DON'T see you.

Hey some car drivers do! I know from my own experience what happens when some dumb-hole doesn't check their blind spot and tries to merge into you! However, sometimes I'm amazed by how inconsiderate, and stupid bikers can be! (and these ones, they either learn, or die - and that's the truth) I see people on bikes putting themselves in danger all the time, and for absolutely no good reason either (would any sane person risk their life to get a car length ahead in traffic?) and it's even more agravating when I see they have a passenger who has no say in what they're about to try and pull. Protective gear is good to have, but a good, working, logical mind is even more essential if you plan on enjoying 2-wheeled transport for a long, long time.
I don't want to sound like a jerk, but if that guy was going 180mph in traffic, he might have as well pointed a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. I mean stupid, just plain stupid. It really makes me angry that people die because they're too dumb to use logic.

Sweetheart, at 180 the "old bat" probably didn't even see your darling brother flying at her at break-neck speed.
 The guy was irresponsible, plain and simple. Those speeds are NOT meant for public roadways. Take that shit to the track. Celebrate his life however you desire, but don't pretend like his behavior can be excused. Hell, at those speeds in "rural" Michigan, he could have hit a chipmunk, gone over, and died from the impact.

I'm not playing this lame game anymore. I made my point without being "insensitive and rude", at least I tried not to.

Reckless and irresponsible.
I hope that the elderly couple were not killed in the crash, at 180mph even a motorcycle makes a car looked like rumpled tinfoil. When you are going 180mph on a public road you put more people in harms way from your stupidity than just yourself. "So instead of being completely insensitive, and rude about the situation, stop and think." "nobody said that YOU were insensitive and rude... let me guess, 8th grade, tops." contradictory? I, on the opposite end of saturn, am an asshole. Your brother is now just another statistic of why sportbike riders are looked upon so badly, and the reason why insurance rates are so high. He could have been one of the greatest guys on the earth, but at that moment he was the biggest idiot on the earth.
