  3. As the motorcycle overturned? How about having someone who has ridden a motorcycle write these reports?

    • Because they die first or aren’t smart enough to write a meaningful sentence.

      Motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to experience a deadly accident on the road than those in passenger cars. Enjoy that thrill ride your life was worth it.

      RideON!

      • Just did 1,000 beautiful miles in 4 days over Memorial Day weekend. Survived! Whew! Good thing I’m not an extreme pussy! Makes for a good day! I LOVE MY HARLEY!!!!!

        • And I bet we can hear you 3 miles away too, and you call me the puss. LOL It’s cool we won’t miss you or your exhaust.

          • That exhaust that bothers you for 15 seconds could’ve saved an accident countless times because a human sence, hearing, caused someone who wasn’t looking to look. Ya know, common sence is a super power. Loud pipes save lives. Think about it. I don’t care if it bothers you. That part makes me smile, and really pull the throttle! I have 144,000 miles on my loud Harley. I can’t tell you how many times those loud pipes caused a positive reaction to the driver that I can see, but doesn’t see me. If a bike sounds like your sewing machine, I believe you’re more likely to take a needless hit to the shins.

            You just keep sewing, and I’ll wrap my pipes and wave as I go by.

            Love an open header contest.

      • 2 thumbs down for you. I don’t think your comments were needed here..
        as I see from others, I am not alone.

      • Congratulations RideOn, your meaningless post doesn’t address my comment at all. Obviously time for you to take a basic reading comprehension class.
