[quote=mjsmith]I miss riding my motorcycle,  but around here  I was scared shitless and was never able to really relax and enjoy the ride until i got 50-60 miles away from DC to the south or West.  so I sold it.

For those that don't get the allure of motorcycles.    its one of the "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand" type of situations. You just have to ride to understand.

for the most part motorcycles are regular law abiding drivers like everyone else.  but sometimes  you get the idiots on dirt bikes riding in the street or folks riding down the center line at 20-30 mph over the limt  and they wonder why bikers get a bad reputation.  its the rotten few that ruin it for everyone.

I seem to recall a couple decades ago  when Daytime running lights became standard/mandated on cars.  that there was an increase in Motorcycle deaths/accidents.  the reason being that for years  motorcycles always had their headlight on and were eaily seen during the daylight hours as a result.  but now with all vehicles running with headlights on  the motorcycles just blend in and area harder to see.

Keep your eyes open and pay attention,  you may save a life...[/quote]
