    Yeah.. that's the main part that I'm afraid of now.. If I lived anywhere closer to ATL, I wouldn't ride. Tons of stupid asses that like to merge while on cell phones. My dad's been hit 2 times in Cobb county on his way to work. Both times near Kennestone hospital. Both times were by older Asian women..

    Been there. I have wrecked 2 different bikes. Both my error, nobody else involved. There are so many factors in bikes that contribute to everything. My first accident I was just turning out of my condo complex and hit loose gravel and dropped it at about 5 mph.

    The second one I was driving downtown, light turned red, tried to stop, rear tire just would not grab with all the grease and oil on the streets. Layed it at about 15 mph.

    I love bikes, I want another one, but they are VERY EASY to damage and VERY EXPENSIVE to fix.

    You sir are a very wise man!! I too have lots of trust in myself with riding a bike. I won't fuck around on the roads though. God only knows when some idiot is going to ruin your day/life.

    I saw pictures of my dad when he went down at only 25 mph when a guy in a truck pulled out in front of him. Scared the hell out of me.

    I have a little guardian angel pin, that i pin in the belt of my jeans when i ride..street, or motocross.

    Anybody who isn't scared..is STUPID. Atleast on the street. I'm' not to scared on dirt. Just because we're all going for the same thing there. You dont have idiots pulling out of side streets

    But on the other hand, there's just as many dumbasses on bikes that just ride on the freeway like they own it. Cutting people off, no blinkers(just get over when they feel like it), just flying through cars. It's the same idiots that represent "LOOK TWICE, SAVE A LIFE, MOTORCYCLES ARE EVERYWHERE" that are a lot of reasons why there are bike wrecks. YOu hardly ever see a bike rider follow the rules of the road.

    I'll get a bike someday, though. Later, QD.

    I'm almost willing to bet though that this post will be somewhat proven hypocritical. When driving, I always used my signals, make sure I have enough room, and give people right of way when needed.

    I don't have a bike here, but back home when riding, I was always doing about 10-15 over the limit. I never signaled when merging lanes but I did look for traffic about to hit me. The look twice save a life more so pertains to cross roads and what not.

    Anything off of the highway however, I was always doing the limit, always signaled, and rarely rode like an asshole. At times there were some fun little roads to cruise out, but I knew them, as well as the traffic patterns. Here, never happen. I dont know the traffic patterns everywhere here. And quite frankly it changes so much i'll bet NOBODY does.

    I don't mean to start an argument at all here man. I'm just saying. It all changes when your actually the guy on the bike. Despite what any of these guys on here say.

    Granted I'm sure there are some of you on here who do ride very well. Do use signals and your heads. I'm a smart rider however I make dumb choices at times. People tell me often it comes from my 2 wheeled racing life I've lived. Which is a good possibility.

    I don't see how it would change. If you're on the highway or backroads, you need to let people know what you're doing so they know what to do. Later, QD.

    Those kind of people are the people who aren't afraid (and they're really stupid). They think they're the best riders ever. I rode with a couple people like that before.. they're retarded.

    It's more of the quick moves, and feelings you get when you just dive into and commit to it. Idk worked that way for me. I started riding responsible. It slowly faded away however when I realize just the rush/blast it is to do those things. Its like smoking..some can quit, some can't.

    i know i'm definately getting a bike, but like actually owning an import with the intention of doing work to it aside from the norm(oil changes,tires,brakes), i came into the game late, though i always spectated. so now that i own a car worth tuning, i'm setting plans in motion to buy a bike by winter, that way in '08 i'll be up on 2. me and CON are kool peeps and he's been riding for a while so i'll have him as a homie plus riding buddies.
