Hope you all had a safe Holiday weekend. For some, the Holiday was deadly. Five bikers were killed in three separate accidents in the Chicago area. One accident was caused by a biker heading south, made a U-turn to go back north when three other bikers also heading north smashed into him. The police said that speed was a factor. Speed was a factor! What the hell is trying to say. If the north bound bikers were not going the speed limit the accident would not have happened? The speed limit out there is 65 MPH. If these bikers were traveling 30 MPH, speed would still be a factor. The fact is, the biker making the U-turn caused the accident. I hate it when they bring up the fact that a helmet was worn or not worn. That speeding was or not the cause of the accident. The fact is. If the dip stick that caused the accident was paying attention to his or her driving the biker would still be alive, PERIOD!   

The other two accidents were caused by cagers not paying attention to their surroundings.

When are cagers going to get it. They need to pay more attention to their driving. They need to keep a safe distance from motorcycles that are in front of them, so if the motorcycle needs to stop in a hurry they can stop without plowing into them. CAGERS BACK OFF!

Every time I ride I have cars tailgating me. I have to wave them back with my hand because grabbing the brake lever making the brake light go on does not faze these morons a bit.

Ride safe.
