    When it ain't your time to die

    "Mama C" sent me a video of a truck driver in a crash. Can you guess what he was doing before the event?

    Riding a motorcycle on a motorway you soon realise why there are laws against using cell phones while driving and safety barriers between opposing lanes.
    I'm actually surprised that there are not a lot more 'accidents' given the way so many clearly pay little attention to the guiding of the huge hunk of steel and plastic they are steering.

    I think the most infuriating times are when it's a semi driver or cop looking down at their phone and nearly causing a fatality as a result. To serve and slaughter more like.

    I agree. When you think about how stupid people can act it amazes me that many millions of cars go here and there every day with no problems.
    Stupid is forever, ignorance can be fixed.

    Yup. I took out my old Commando 750 for the first time in months this evening. I'd forgotten nothing of how to ride. But I had forgotten just how inattentive people in cars can be.

    I tend to like t stay in the dirt.but my dirt bike and 4 wheeler do see some pavement every once in a while...in search of dirt or just cooling off around the neiborhood. my brother has harleys,he keep telling me to take one home...Ive never been on them. another buddy with a few thats too old to ride keeps telling me to take his out for a ride....I dont think I ever will.Im not one to ride somebody elses stuff. well there was this one time....but she got a divorce and remarried....30 years ago. weve been riding ever since. but she is not 2 wheel friendly.
