Who rides a motorcycle?

Deep-N-Dirt-- really nice looking 30-year-old bike!:thumbsup:

Mine are so-so; I try to keep them clean, but they could all use a bit more cosmetic "spiffing up." Yours looks like it just came off the showroom floor!

Thanks for the complement there - irvingj - I'm sure your bikes looks just as nice only thing more I could wish for is a having a paved driveway so's not to get the dirt on my tires,

Here is the reason I don't ride anymore.....Traffic and other stupid drivers that make left turns in front of oncoming riders along with a general disregard for motorcycles...

This fella was only 39 yrs. old and this happened about 30 miles from me..
Motorcyclist ejected, killed in Newton County crash | ajc.com

If I gave up riding for that reason, I might as well quit walking too. Ride/walk defensively, but ride on!

I just gave my opinion on the dangers of riding in today's traffic with the obvious disregard many car drivers have for motorcycle riders.

Like I posted I rode professionally and loved every minute of it...I could not believe someone would actually pay me to do it. Looking back at the dangerous situations I was in gives meaning to be being young and bullet proof.

Just be safe and remember how hard you are to see and how little respect for the danger most motorists have and show. Good riding...

My oldest Son was a rider until he and his wife were going to eat lunch at 30 MPH and a old lady run the red light and the Motorcycle t-boned the side of the car. Son broke his hip in 3 places and wife came out lucky with cuts and bruises. He has swore off them and I am glad. One less thing to worry about. It is the other driver you have to watch out for and sometimes, that don't even help. Ken Sweet
