Re: Learning to ride a motorcycle...
Yeah, Blarg speask the complete truth.
I was a safe rider (believe it or not), and was going along at speed limit, centre of road, wearing lumunous vest, lights on, and a tard actually pulled out and drove into me head on. It was lucky I didn't even have time to brake, as any slower I'd have been through the windscreen of the car, and not right over the top of it. Haven't been on a bike since. Figured can't be safe driving the way I was, then not safe at all. But I did love biking [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |

Re: Learning to ride a motorcycle...
I've been thinking about doing the same thing.
FYI - a full day group safety course with motorcycles provided is about $250 in Atlanta. |

Re: Learning to ride a motorcycle...
I always thought it would be cool if I lived in a rural area or something, but not in this crazy city full of morons. Heck, I've been hit numerous times in my car when I was parked at stop signs, at the entrance to parking lots, etc. Cripes, you're sitting there plain as day, stopped for quite a while, AT A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE NORMALLY STOP and are expected to -- and you STILL get hit? People are way too effing stupid for me to risk taking those hits or worse on a bike. Even though I think it would be really cool to bike. But not for somebody with my kind of luck, no way.
