    Default Not Razor Related But There Are Some Of Us That Ride Two Wheels-Please Watch

    This isn't razor related but there are some of us who ride two wheels including the forum founder Lynn & this would be very important for everyone to watch. I really wish they would put it on TV!!!

    Good vid Steve, equally applicable to those of us who ride pedal bikes.
    I would also say that the way some guys ride their bikes isn't exactly safe or responsible either though.

    Nice post Steve. It's a huge deal in the military right now. I think we as a whole lose more Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Coast Guard to motorcycles than we do from war. We have to take a yearly safety course to ride.

    No Ed
    There are those who rode motorcycles irresponsibly & they are the ones who make us good guys look bad!
    I was in an accident last week on my Harley due to an impaired driver & I'm lucky to be here to enjoy Christmas Day.
    Merry Christmas my friend!

    That's good. It's a great idea to take a course to maintain safety! There are more motorcycles on the roads these days to save on fuel consumption. My biggest complaint are people using their cell phones while driving!

    I was trying to figure out where to post it. Maybe a moderator can move it there.

    Steve,
    I am not saying all riders are bad or dangerous or idiotic, you guys probably have the same proportion of morons as us pedal bike riders, and ultimately we will always lose no matter who is to blame.
    I have read a few threads of people regaling us with stories of their motor powered idiocy and just shake my head, sorry I have been meaning to reply to the PM you sent, hopefully I will get a chance this evening, glad you managed to walk away.
    anyways I am sure I have said quite enough, Ed.

    You didn't say anything wrong Ed. To me it doesn't matter whether it has a motor or pedals, there are idiots out there that just don't have the regard or respect for those who do ride two wheels. I mostly seek for people on motorcycles but after thinking of what you said, some people, especially in cars, always have the excuse like, "oh, I didn't see him" or some kind of excuse. Most of the time when people in cars or trucks run a biker or a cyclist off the road & they go down, the person that caused it just keeps going so that they aren't responsible for any injuries or damages! They can see that a person has gone down & can't or won't get up fast enough to catch them. I've gone down before when that happened , they just keep going because it is expensive to fix damages, especially when one is injured.

    Great post. Nice to see coming from my home state. As a retired road racer and past track day instructor I too would like to see that video out there more for the public to see. I would also reiterate what they said in the video. No matter what kind of bike you ride, go to a track day. Really learn how to control your machine. Everyday I see little nuances in riders on the road that I wish I could help them correct. The truth of the matter for me is I much more enjoy the track as it it sooooo much safer than our roads. I have been taken out by cars a couple of times. First by a mom arguing with kids instead of stopping at a stop sign and second by a car on a yielding left turn. Not much I could do with the first but because of my skill I fortunately came out just fine. I sacrificed the bike on the second one. I put into a low side skid and bailed. Anyways to all the riders out there stay safe!
