New riders, assume that every driver is about to kill you. Dress for the crash! Make out a will before you get on your bike. Make sure the "do not insert a feeding tube" order is given, and that your corneas and liver are available for harvesting.

Better yet, go to your local funeral home and prepay for your last end. Make sure you pick out a sensible casket. You're young, and you can rot in peace after your inevitable motorcycle crash. Go for the simple pine box with the satin inserts. Stipulate that your friends will toss in your rear-view mirrors.

Oh, and don't forget to have fun!

gee thanks! i didn't know i could get hurt on a motorcycle!

D.B........

you trying to scare people away LOL

though its not a bad idea to ride like every cager is out to get you

Quite a few years ago, I came up with a less scary way to go (although I'm sure I wasn't the first one). When I'm riding, I don't pretend that everyone is out to kill me (way too paranoid for me), but I do pretend that I'm completely invisible. If you automatically assume that everyone on the road cannot see you, you will do a much better job of staying in a postion with the most possible escape routes. It really works.

I do pretend that I'm completely invisible

Thats my thought whenever I'm on the road.

I did that as well. It saved me from the pavement on more that one occasion.

I prefer to ride as if I had my whole life ahead of me yet.

I'd rather be cremated and have my ashes mixed in with the custom paintjob.

and i already know everyone on the road is trying to kill me, i was hit twice in like a month. the second was a hit and run, the first he floored it into the back of my my dads car while we were at a stoplight. messed my back up good...
