Basic transportation at an affordable price can be produced

Well said, there are many here that will not comprehend your post. Riding while intoxicated? Well now thats a whole other can of worms… Be careful you might get jumped on for that comment, people have a right to drink and ride you know. And tripping on LSD will make you a better rider, most air traffic controllers on duty right now are on LSD you know cause they don’t test for that kine…

I will say that around here, maybe 35% of motorcyclists are ultra safe riders, 35% are causal riders who are not the safest but don’t cause any trouble, the last 30% are they types that ride from bar to bar on the weekends while sitting at a stoplight while continually revving their motor for 3 minutes and then when the light turns green they flat out race to the next red light, cutting off anyone in their path. They usually have some tramp on the back of the bike and have mullets and whatnot.

Every year someone around here will usually kill themselves while driving a motorcycle from bar to bar while under the influence, His buddies will never admit that the alcohol did it, it will be a wet road, loose gravel, sun got in his eyes…ect… anything but the .08 or higher he had in him. Some will even say that the guy was such a heavy drinker that it was impossible for him to get drunk on beer because it was like water to him. These are all things I have heard. I am not making this up.

and then his fellow bar buddies will organize a ride or poker run, where they go from bar to bar to raise money for the dead drunkards family by doing the exact same thing that got him killed. 'Ol red was a good ol boy you know, liked his beer like a good ol boy should… A good ol boy that red…Hic!

Life in Indiana folks. Life in Indiana.

I see the pictures come up around spring time where they warn bike season is starting and we should all watch out for them.

That’s fine and dandy… until Johnny Hardrider does a buck twenty while lane splitting during rush hour traffic on the I-5. By the time you see him coming, he’s already flew past you. And by the time he realizes someone is trying to change lanes up ahead, he’s slammed into them because he couldn’t stop quick enough.

My last trip to California brought me into the world of the line riding bikers. It’s hard to believe that those who would travel at 10 to 20 mph faster than the traffic with their wheels on the lane stripes could ever survive their first year doing so. I was amazed there wasn’t a deadly wreck. A few of the dare devils were traveling at outrageous speeds.
