sad

i have been enjoying many rides on my buddies Harley this summer and there really is nothing like the freedom of riding a bike

there are just too many selfish people on the road with little regard for motorcycles and the peoples lives who ride them

RIP

I read about the crash this morning. It was sad before knowing who the victim was. Just thinking about the fact that the gentleman was just going about his daily routine and heading to work but got struck on the way is enough to make you realize how quick things can change.

There was some traffic on the way in from hull this morning along the parkway and I figured it was due to construction, but I guess it was partly related to redirected traffic.

Actually I think the traffic from The Nation was a result of the bridge work on the Parkway. It seemed to be much worse today than recently though.

I pulled out of my driveway, turned left and saw police tape, the coroner and scattered items that no one should have to witness......

This was the boss of a friend of mine (who basically runs Iggy's twitter feed among lots of other things). Sad indeed.

Please. There are plenty of selfish people driving motorcycles as well.

Sad news.

I learned to drive a motorcycle a few years ago in India and absolutely feel in love with them, the driving is crazy over there but everyone has their head on a swivel and I never once felt in danger (I didn't ride in Delhi or Mumbai) but I'd never drive one in North America, I'm not even sure it's selfishness, it's just a car world over here.
