Re: Fucka Motorcycle, I saw a bike accident today
I had a tractor trailer try to come into me on I-81 on Sunday.. and then once we got onto 581, my riding partner almost got squashed by a Blazer. Neither of us were riding in blind spots. I was passing the truck on the left, and all of the sudden I see his turn signal go on.. I blip the throttle a little bit and honk the horn--did that help? Nope. I had to hit the brakes hard and downshift, or I would have been roadkill. Luckily my buddies behind me left me space and an exit path the way they did, or it could have been another accident just from me preventing an accident. It can be scary sometimes, but it's worth it in the end. There's nothing else in the world that I enjoy the way I do riding my motorcycle!
In a situation like Mica's, it's even worse because someone is out to hit you on purpose, in a situation like that your limited on what you can do because your more than likely not gonna expect it and they'll more than likely come out of nowhere to do it. But........ even with those idiots out there, I'm still gonna ride.
To the guy that was in the accident you saw and all the other people involved in bike crashes this weekend, I hope you make it and get back to riding. To those that didn't make it, RIP.

Exactly, a bike accelerates and deccelerates much faster than a car, thus allowing the rider to avoid an accident much easier than a car. If you are afraid to ride, then us riders don't want you on the road with us, stay in your cage.
