Default WAKE up CALL

I don't mean to come across as an "old Fart", or Parent type,......But sometimes, we need to slow down and think about what we're doing out there. We get so comfortable with our skills at riding that we take it all for granted. ......Sometimes we need a "Wake up Call" that we're not invincible............Don't know the story on this, but it sure sobered me up in a hurry.

What's the point that you're trying to make........This was sent to me by E-mail by a patient that knows I ride. If this is a little too graphic for your delicate side, I'm sorry. I didn't do this to "Grand Stand" or disgust,........But to say,..."Wear your gear, be Careful,.....this is a fun sport, but it too can Kill"

One word - Pavement.

Two words - No helmet.

Do it enough and the odds will get you every time.

This guy isn't wearing even one single piece of safety gear! A helmet and a neck brace minimum, might very well have saved this guys life???? What this guy probably did was commit suicide by stupidity!!!

It doesn't hurt either to reherse what you will do if you sense your machine is going to roll. I know everybody always harps on the "speed kills" thing, but the worst accidents I have seen have been big heavy utilities that tried to make some hill and ran out of traction, and rolled sitting still at a bad angle with the rider still on them.

For some reason, around here the huge utilities seem to appeal to the senior citizen set, who are the group least able to handle a big heavy machine in a rollover.

if this is amazing to you, then maybe you shouldn't look at the photos. Doc. is right, lots of people need to see more photos like these. espically the younger riders so they may think a little harder before they wanna show off in front of their friends or something. Thanks for the pics Doc. they are a TRUE wake up call.......................shea................... ...
