View Of The Fox Report From Nonrider
This will probably get deleted as I don't ride and don't really have the desire to. I get my thrills from doing things that would probably scare the hell out of y'all. I do have the knowledge to voice an opinion though as I am one of the guys that shows up to package and load you on a bird for the expensive trip back to Atlanta after you wreck.

I have seen comments about 300 wrecks in the 4 counties they mentioned being high. To me it seemed low. Way low. That sounds more like the total for my county alone. I can't tell you how many weekends we have been paged out to 5 or more in one day, just bounce back and forth between 60 and 129. And those are just the ones we get sent to because of injuries. And no it is not as I have seen a few comments here that it is mostly cruisers. For every one cruiser bike that wrecks I have probably been to 15 sport bikes.

Some of the things I have seen sport bikers doing make the stuff on the news report look tame. I have been passed while running lights and sirens headed to a motorcycle wreck by a pack of sport bikes on one wheel. We have had ambulances passed on the mountain going to a call. There have been more than one instance that I ran a car wreck either head on into other vehicles or into trees because someone on a bike was passing on a double yellow and they did not want to hit him. I'll tell you right now that you come across the yellow in front of me, I am not going to swerve into traffic or hit a tree to miss you, I know from experience that the car usually wins and you make that choice to come across the line, hope you have things right with your maker.

Saw someone make the comment that we are volunteer firefighters around these parts. Thats right, and it does get a bit old going to wreck after wreck because of people doing stupid things. I can assure you that we can find better things to with our families than leave them constantly to pick you guys up.

And another thing. While you are up on the mountain having your fun and thrills riding like that, keep this in the back of your mind. You wreck and get hurt, you are going to lay there in pain for better part of 30 minutes before an ambulance gets there. Should you have managed to go down the embankment, tack on some more time while we wait in the fire truck to get there so we can set up ropes to drag you back up. And I assure you , our trucks do go up the mountain very fast. After we get you up, odds are we are going to fly you out on life flight. Ever seen one of those bills? That ride is going to cost more than your bike does. And lets not forget that the expensive riding suit you are wearing is going to be cut off you.

So y'all have your fun, whine that everyone is against you and what not. But as long as we are making multiple runs up the mountain every weekend , our opinion will be hard to change.
