Driver's Ed is required now in LA, be it in public school or by a private instructor...and Im happy for it.......but when it comes to two wheels on the road, many people simply refuse to acknowledge them. High beams, loud pipes, reflective tape, a good lid, thick leather and SUPER DEFENSIVE DRIVING is all a rider has to protect him/her.

Ive gotten ticketed twice for loud pipes.....gladly paid the fine without even appearing in court, I just kinda look at it as insurance

It's amazing how many people will look right at you while you ride, yet still pull out in front of you as if they don't see you. Drivers are so conditioned to look out for cars, that they fail to see two wheelers even when they make direct eye contact with you.

Useless fact- More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes.

When I was coming home from work yesterday (on a divided 4-lane hwy), a young motorcyclist drove between me (in the left lane going 5mph over limit) and an 18-wheeler in the right lane. He did the same thing between two cars further ahead.

In my younger days, DH & I both had bikes (He a KZ-1000 & me a Honda 350) and drove them with every precaution know to man! It never would have entered into my head to drive between two vehicles to pass.

We have a highway here in Allentown notorious for spectacular accidents - Rt. 78. A while back I saw a guy on a crotch rocket going at a high rate of speed while doing a wheelie on this road during rush hour. I will bet he will never be an old motorcycle rider.

Yeah Jim---

You see the bikers doing wheelies all the time on I-4. That's a pre-requisit of doing wheelies in wheelchairs!

It must have been bike-week in Daytona last week, cause I-4 was PACKED with bikers all week long! I love seeing all the old-farts trying to look like tough biker dudes! It is the movie "Wild Hogs" in real life!!

There was just about an inch of snow on the ground at 4am this morning -- by 8am we had a foot and it's still falling. This is the gazebo in the back yard. I put the chairs back out last weekend figuring we could use them soon. Bad choice.

My wife had an argument with a Jersey barrier a couple of weeks ago -- the barrier won. At 5mph the damage was $3,800! The car is only 8 months old. Well, I guess it's broken in now. At least she didn't hit a scooter! She slid on sheer ice. The trooper who stopped to help her fell flat on his a$$ when he got out of the patrol car. So much for his dignity!
