I just cannot get over how many people get on a bike and do things waaay beyond their experience and skill level ...

Warning.......All stories are about motorcycle rider deaths.

LaVar Arrington? wow, I missed that one. Not killed, only hurt, but the guy was a big name around here until he went to the NY Giants.

Not many riders put their sport bikes to top speed so the line about how fast the bike can go is really pointless sensationalism.

Lack of rider training and licensing is a problem but so are idiots who drive their cages in a reckless manner (this includes not paying attention).

Many kids in their tuner cars are just as bad as squids on sporties but no coverage there.

I've pointed this out to the NY State governor and senate but no funding is available for safe driving commercials (Yet we have one promoting the benefits of tap water).

Train everyone not just one group. Thanks to Volvo people now don't have to do head checks just let the car warn you.

End of rant, I'm going back to eating my big mac, one handed typing is hard,
