before i got back on the bike yesterday, i had driven with my truck on the same road i dumped my bike and a wave of fear ran thru me as i thought about what could have happened if a car was comming, on the other other hand i also chalk it up to a lesson learned.

yes i have kids 2, daughters 8,l5, and I want to be around for them.  I also remind myself there are LOTS of people that have been ridin motorcycles forever!  and that accidents that kill can happen with cars too....even big suv's.

So all we can do it drive our bikes with the proper gear, sober, and not think we are invincible, but think of ourselves as invisable and slow down if we are not sure of someones actions up ahead and try to be prepared to get out of the way or stop if necessary.

I also carry my talilsmans (bear claw,herkimer diamond, etc) with me wherever I go including on my bike for hopefully luck!  and dont forget the small bell on the bike somewhere to keep those "gremlins away"

If we are not careful and protect ourselves we would have less nice people to talk to here..
