Nasty reminder of how dangerous bikes can be

[Powertool29]

If you crash on the track you are sliding on the grass and there are qualified people there to help you if needed...
If you crash on the street, you are running into light poles, curbs and cars.
You would be suprised what kind of damage and how far in the air a curb can throw you..
The unfortunate part is that the inexperienced people are getting hurt because of stupidity !

Today for instance...
driving through a construction zone as I do everyday (highway 16A and Anthony Henday) today doing 60K
its a construction zone folks ! "double fine" I guess they don't care
and people are flying by me in their vehicles at over 90K"

OH IT MAKES ME MAD !!

Last night I was riding the bike back into the city...Anthony Henday between hwy 14 and 16.....I had moved into the left lane anticipating the traffic that was merging onto the hwy ......I'm traveling at 120 kph...first a pick up passes me and within 15 seconds two idiots on crotch rockets serve passed me and then around the truck I guessed the truck at about 140 so the bikes were at least 160....the second bike the guy was wearing a leather coat shorts and runners...

I usually try to ride at the speed limit or at least where the bulk of traffic is running thats how I crept up to the 120 mark....

I'm full gear everytime i ride...It's the guys out there that jump on a crotch rocket with a muscle shirt, short and sandals, what the hell are you thinking (or not thinking i guess is the point)..then they've got their old lady on the back with a mini skirt,tube top and flip flops and pass me like i'm standing still.

It only takes one pebble on the road at that speed to drift that front tire and your into a speed wobble with the extra weight of your girlfriend which your wearing as a backpack on those bikes its pretty hard to come out if without going down.

I don't mind people who ride street bikes as long as they are responible. 2 guys yesterday in town on street bikes were behind us and wheelieing all we had to do was hit the brakes and "thump" 2 street bikers in our tailgate.

we sell stickers for bike helmets.....including.......

"Guns don't kill people.....Drivers with cell phones do"

"LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES"

"Honk if you have never seen a loaded gun fired from a Harley"

"If you can read this.....BACK OFF"

They say possession is 9/10ths of the law..

AHHHHH SQUIDS. How to tell if you are a SQUID....(Some Quick Unimportant Immature Dumbass):

You're 100 lbs. overweight and complain that your bike just can't seem to hold that inside line.

Your safety gear in the summer consists of a wife beater, shorts and tennis shoes.

You constantly "throttle tune" your bike at every red light

You ride in sandals

You tell anyone you have gone 160 on the street

You think Arai is Jamaican for OK

You don't have a clue what a Buell is

You keep fouling plugs riding with the choke on

More than half of your bike's original plastic has been replaced by carbon fiber parts.

You paid someone $400 to airbrush your $175 helmet

You own a carbon fiber keyfob

You walk around the mall in full race leathers

You ever high-sided from a intentional stoppie

YOU think that you're cool

Only you know what your personalized tag means

You don't know what a SQUID is
