Seriously, though...

I just read about two more motorcyclist/racers who lost their lives, this weekend. I also read the post of the local rider who lost his life. Bryan Paquette lost his life, this year. A member of the board(daytona440) recently got nailed by a minivan, thankfully he is very much alive. But, it has been a tough year on our community in general.

Too much bad shit...STOP IT!!!

I guess I just wanna say: "Let's be careful out there."

I whole heartedly agree...

There were 3 motorcycle fatalities this weekend that i heard about in MA..worcester, ashland and one other(can't remember where)

there has been too much of it lately. I wonder why. Are people being more squidly? people in too much of a rush? moreso than last year? I just don't get why it's been so bad lately. I would say popularity but many of the deaths we are hearing about are fairly seasoned riders. Not first day riders....I would think that the recent popularity would make people more aware.... Maybe I am reading into it too much and it's just a bad year for riding?.?.?.......

In many ways, it's good to post about wrecks, if even only one person gets a little more paranoid, which in turn causes him/her to slow down a bit more from entering that turn, or results in a little more attention to their surroundings, it's well worth it.

Yeah, we hate to hear about it, but in many respects, we have to.

Well said Mystery Squid. We can, should learn from others mishaps...

I guess if we look at the positives, we can say that there are many more people enjoying motorcycling.
