sometimes the bikers are more at fault. 



Actually the statics say otherwise.

Follow the links both Greedy and I provided.

Granted there are exceptions to every rule.....note though...that is an exception.......

note, that there was a "sometimes" in that statement.

take this statement from one of the stats sites posted here --
"In the multiple vehicle accidents, the driver of the other vehicle violated the motorcycle right-of-way and caused the accident in two-thirds of those accidents."
someone could get bent out of shape and read that as "see, the people in cars are violating our space and causing accidents!"
further down in the stats it also reads, however, -- "Deliberate hostile action by a motorist against a motorcycle rider is a rare accident cause;" it's a matter of simply not seeing them in time.

what i don't like is this attitude from motorcyclists that they are never at fault. or the nimrods i see every day on the road weaving around, driving on the shoulder, or literally getting next to my car in a lane so i can't turn unless i want to run over them, are the rarity when my experience says otherwise. or it has something to do with the kind of bike they drive. =p please.
i'm all for education and accountability/responsibility, but it has to be on BOTH SIDES.
i also don't like how it becomes an "us vs. them" thing -- you either buy everything they say and weep openly when a motorcyclist dies or you "hate motorcycles." =p i'm pretty fond of them, just not so fond of a lot of the people who act like jackwagons while riding them.

No one should have to wear a helmet if they don't want to. Get them out of the gene pool.
I ride horses, and I have known several people who got their heads split open in riding accidents. Their choice, but for my part, I always wear a helmet.

From your link :

"They should make a cd 'the soothing sounds for biker babes'. Rev the stereo up in your livingroom. "

Been there done that. I had a nice 100' cord for my PC mic a while back when I lived upstairs. My buddy Scratch was about to take off on his Harley and I lowered the mic down to the ground. I turned the gain way up and then when he gets down there he yells into the mic " Aaaaaay ! " . As powerful as my stereo might be, this mic was set to pick up a stick in the mud from China. Right after you can hear me yelling " You fucking asshole ! ". Well that fixed him.

Yes I did record him going down the street on his 2002 Shortster, but he stalled it. Just so he can live it down I will upload it. I have to get it back first though. It was in all the shit I lost, but it IS on another harddrive which I will be copying soon. The ultimate backup, and this time I don't have to search through 360GB of shit to find it. This will probably happen in a week, but you know what he got for yelling in my mic ? HE STALLED THE MOTHERFUCKER !!!!!!!

If you have good sound on your PC you should be able to hear the laughter.

But really, he is short, and now he has a much bigger Harley which he can barely handle. I mean this guy never even got his motorcycle endorsement. He couldn't pass on the Shortster, but now years later he figures he would get a bigger bike. It ain't happenin, he is short and has trouble with the thing. And in Ohio he is supposed to wear a helmet until he gets the endorsement. Supposed to.

I have been trying for years to get him to make me the benficiary of his life insurance policy, but the fucker refuses. I think he thinks I might try to kill him. After all he tried to kill me once. That's another story and really, shit like that doesn't bother us. After he tried to kill me with the proverbial blunt object I threw him out of Termy's terminal for about six months. But I think the guilty conscience is what makes him not want to sign the paper. Fucker.

Did I mention that I've known this guy for well over 25 years and I was there when he broke down ? (he was in bad olady shit) But, that is the way we are. The way we treat life, like it is transitory, and therefore pretty much irrelevant.

Janis sung that freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, and everyone thinks that's a bad thing. Because nothin, nothin ain't nothin baby'f it ain't free. I want all of you to understand the mentality. You come here with a gun and get the drop on me before I can kill your ass, and you have a gun to my head, I will say something like " You gonna use that motherfucker or did you come for show and tell ? ".

The lack of fear of death really is true freedom. Shit, you say true freedom is like I have to live like Randy Weaver ? Bullshit. I will avail myself of all life has to offer.

I AM a biker, even though I can barely ride, I am not good at it. I AM what it was many years ago, not these panty wist, software engineers and lawyers that Carlin described. I AM free in many ways.

Very few can even begin to understand the concept of life like this. And, would I risk my life for another, a stranger ? I don't fear death now, so really I would be more likely than the protected people, the cradle to grave crowd, the sheeple. And, without anger, I don't cause trouble, therefore they don't target me. And, my only worry is my endeavor, which should pay off next month, just a bit too late.

Wanna buy some tools ? This shit is real.

There ya go. Shoulda been a cowboy. Rope and ride. Wearing my six shooter ridin my..........

You cling to life as if your life depended on it. One day you will find out that your life is nothing more. You might become curious like me, as to what is on the other side.

And I hear this is rare, but I actually had a dream in which I died. I mean REALLY DIED. It was not a nighmare. It's different if you have kids or something like that, but I describe true freedom. The government ends at my doorstep, and if they come for me, they will meet the same people I will. I am not kidding. They will not come here. I don't kid myself, I can't defeat them. If they decide they want me even Bin Laden's people can't save me,. I know that. But they don't want me.

But it doesn't mean jack shit if you don't fear the consequences, especially when you don't fear death. If they put me in the joint one day, I will meet all kinds of old friends. None of my known associates are in right now. KNOWN.

THAT is what I am trying to get across. FUKUM.

T^T

Honestly, anyone riding without gear is an idiot. My guy got forced off the road by a an idiot driver trying to merge into his bike, and even with full gear on and bailing off the bike he still sustained minor injuries.... if he'd been in a t-shirt and no helmet he'd have been in the ICU or morgue for sure.

It scares the crap out of me when I see these people riding on the highway at 70 mph in t-shirts and sandals and bucket helmets (no helmets would be even worse!). Especially when they're those sort of irresponsible bikers that zip all over the road and drive in between cars and do all those dangerous things. If I hit them because of their irresponsible driving, I'd kill or severely injure them. Even though it'd really be their fault for being irresponsible, I don't think I'd be able to forgive myself. :(
