Check out my site to see why. I am one of the lucky ones! I saw a crash almost happen tonight in the same place as mine. I thought I would try to open a few eyes.

Sometimes I feel safer on my Street bike than my quad. Yesterday some mentally challenged driver cut off and slammed on their brakes in front of a couple of cars I was behind. I had to brake really quick which wasn't bad except for the truck behind me had skid to slow down without running me over. I was pretty pissed off so I got in the other lane and guess who I found that almost caused me to die... damn old lady! Anyway the reason I think the road is safer is think about how many people are out drinking and riding all day long. I ride at Glamis during some major weekends and see people drinking and right afterwards jumping on a quad or in a rail and tear off. What if everyone on the road was drinking and driving... the only place I would want to be is in a tractor trailer.

damn old people driving! I cant stand it at all, every near miss or slow moving lane is caused by some way too old person who still thinks its ok for them to drive. pisses me off.

I dunno about on road, My friend and I were on our way home at 45-50 MPH on a paved country road rideing our XR 400R's when my friend hit a patch of spilled diesel fuel in a turn, he went down faster than hitting ice! he ground his chew can in half litterly saving his a$$. he had major road rash on his arms and chest as he slid 30 feet. I jammed the brakes hard before hitting the oil and somehow saved it.. Just think about 70MPH on a hiway looseing it into the path of a semi!

That looks like it really hurt. I guess that pickup driver didn't "start seeing motorcycles"!
On a side note, have you ever ridden at the MX track by millville? Not the one that they have races on, but there is one that a couple of farmer's kids made on their land. They charge $10 to ride all day. The place is INSANE!!!
