Bottom Line...recognize the situation for that it was...an incident where the new rider (you) wasn't sure what to do...just learn from it. (we all do, believe me!)
Get back on your bike, maintain acute awareness, and ride without fear. You will be fine.

Re: Our greatest fear as bikers...
1. What are our greatest fears, frustrations and anxieties as motorcycle riders? FEAR: No real fear (no flaming please - I'm just saying you can't ride in fear), but I wouldn't want to come out of an accident as an invalid. FRUSTRATION: People doing stupid dodo on the road (same as if I were in a ca...

Re: 2012 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Models Preview
Being a Heritage Softail owner, I checked out the Softail models.
The Blacklines are cool as is the Fatboy low. Heritage is solid as usual.
The one thing I wish HD would do is offer several different paint styles for their bikes.

Re: Rider Down, Daughter Witnessed it..
@flw...well said my friend...
My 23 year old son (then 19) had to bury one of his best friends who committed suicide a few years back. He seems to be handling it as well as we could expect, but it was one of the toughest things he (or mom and dad) has had to endure.

Re: Rider Down, Daughter Witnessed it..
Sorry that your daughter and others had to witness the death of someone. It changes their lives while the person who caused the situation never took the time to think about the effects of his actions - on innocent bystanders OR his family. I don't mean to sound heartless but I don't feel sorry for t...

Re: HOG Poll
Ok, I agree with the wikid sound thing as long as you consider my V&H bigshots help with that...that's as close as I got with the options you laid out. I never really thought too much about why I love my Harley ('10 Heritage Softail) until you posed the question (in other words, I just do). As a...

Re: This Week: 2011 Triumph Bonneville T100 - VOTE NOW
I voted COOL because I appreciate the retro styling but really would've rather voted "it's ok". Nothing about it stood out and said "ride me!". Sorry Mike, I'm with Madjak30 on this one.

Re: Can a bike lift be used to store a bike instead of stand
Should have mentioned it earlier. My Pitbull lift has a locking mechanism. No issues lifting and leaving it up to date.

Re: Songs that stir you emotionally.
Ok, I will NEVER admit to bawling like a girl and this isn't really a song like you're talking about but I have to mention it...the tune they play in the movie "Brian's Song" when Gale Sayers tells his teammates that Brian Piccolo has cancer...those who have seen it will know what I'm talk...

Re: Can a bike lift be used to store a bike instead of stand
Sure, but it needs to be a solid lift (one you can walk away from without fear of someone knocking it over). I have a Pitbull manual lift I use to raise my HD Heritage Softail.
