reality check

i found this site. try scrolling all the way down on the home page and not thinking twice about it next time you gear up.
some graphic moto-madness, like before and after pics of the idiot bikini wearing passenger/roadrash victim.

I have seend some of those photos before. That is always some sobering shit! Getting all torn up and dying always takes the fun out of motorcycling.

An ounce of prevention...

Obviously you can't ever be too safe on your bike, never mind being on one that, essentially, gets operated on the dark side more often than not.

However.

These articles are written by the same people that have come after our guns, that sue McDonalds Corporation and that think illegal aliens should be welcome guests amongst other things (imagine a neon sign that says, "welcome to PC land"). These same people *want* to protect you, mostly from yourself; the complete and total opposite of what a motorcyclist is.

They are, mostly, loosers and wantabees; seemingly well intentioned...

Easy on the illegal aliens... Youre starting to impact my dating pool of exotic women. I didnt go to college to do crap jobs either, Who is going to wash my boat, rake leaves and clean my house? The economy is going the right direction if I want to hire american some day soon... So go easy on the low cost labor unless you want a $10 big mac.

I think Chris Rock made some comment that unless one floats on a raft 90 miles across an ocean at night with a baby in arms or wore a military uniform, you're not an American, you're just lucky. I cant help but agree a bit as i age.

I see your location is MA. I'm surprised you are allowed to live there, you mentioned pro gun above. Shoulndt you be paying a toll or new tax, maybe pushing snow around?

Lets keep the politics where they shoud be, in the bed room with hookers and video cameras.

The pics are very powerful, wouldnt you agree. Gives me the chills. I'm likely to slow down until I leave my driveway. Great thing about being a man; selective memory. I already forgot why i was typing.

Anti motorcycle propoganda.Its not about protecting yourself as much as its about scaring people of motorcycles
Unless you look at it and think "wow..I didnt believe that could happen" it dosent teach anything.

"Anti motorcycle propaganda." Unfortunately a lot, maybe most of those where cause by the cagers on top of it.

Don't drive a bike because most of the driving public have their head up their arse. That is what I get out of the photos.

Don't get me wrong I feel bad for those people and anyone of them could be me, except maybe the chick with the thong. That is the risk we all take and when we are on our bikes. I hope you all are observant and are able to avoid those situations and accidents.

If off my soap box now.
