Default Motorcycling must be getting more popular...fatalities climbing (pic!)


This traffic-camera photo, which appears to show a car (no brake lights) running a light and colliding with a motorcyclist who was waiting at the light, is a reminder that you never know when you might wish you were wearing protective gear.


taken from http://www.motorcyclecruiser.c...atals/

i think its time this forum supported the AMA's efforts to get an updated Hurt study conducted. http://www.motorcyclecruiser.c...earch/

i always make it a habit of watching my rearview mirror to make sure the motorist behind me stops.

in MSF they teach you to check your rearview mirror first when coming to a stop...
