Enough said

Motorcycle Awareness and foolishness

I heard this morning that there have been 17 motorcycle deaths so far this year. From listening to the on air report and seeing it online at Motorcycle Deaths Rising In Wisconsin I have a few issues I have with the article.
1. The guy from ABATE is supposed to represent the motorcyclists and promote safety. This guy is not wearing a helmet, Which protects the head in case of a crash.
2. Yes when the weather gets warm the more motorcycles come out that's a given.
3. The one liner at the end "The Department of Transportation said almost half of fatal motorcycle crashes involve alcohol" leaves me scratching my head. Leaves me wondering was the motorcyclist drunk or was it someone else?
4. The ABATE guy is quoted as saying "Slower lane deviation, I see cars too, they change lanes very quickly and if a biker is there, there's bound to be a crash,". So when I go to change lanes after I look to see if its clear I can take my sweet time getting over?

The bottom line is all drivers NEED to watch out for other cars,trucks,motorcycles,scooters and anything or anybody on or near the roadways.

My First Attempt at a video

If any one reads this blog let me know how I did.

More motorcycle news

When are stories like this are going to stop? No one in the law enforcement or law making sectors are saying anything but they focus on seat belts or a private business allowing smoking. My goodness these stories are examples of what happens when you hand out drivers licenses to people that should never be behind the wheel.

Motorcyclist Injured In I-94 Crash

Motorcyclist Killed In Chain Reaction Crash

Pay attention

Here is a story from Illinois that saddens everyone nail polish killer.

To sum it up, this woman is driving and applying nail polish and not paying attention to the road runs a red light and slams into a motorcyclist who is proceeding legally and kills the motorcyclist. So far she has not been charged in the death but has been ticketed with "failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident" and further charges are pending.

Idiots like this woman who decide to drive with little disregard to others should be banned from having a vehicle and licenses. If a death occurs the perp should serve a minimum term of life.

Bad couple of days

From Sunday morning until a short time ago I have been in a dark mood. So I have shied away from posting.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers day to all the moms out there.

Motorcycle Awareness

Note to the media we make Harley's here but not all motorcycle riders ride them. Some of us ride other brands(gasp).

so my message is watch out for ALL motorcycles and not just Harleys.

Give Me A Break/Anti "Idol"

What is the fascination with American Idol and Danny Gokey? American Idol is nothing but a singing contest and Mr. Gokey is a contestant. But the coverage and talk on the news around here makes Mr. Gokey sound like the third coming of the lord(after Obama).
Both are not that important to trump everything else that is happining. The media needs to refocus on what really matters.
