That's my bike (what's left of it) wedged so tight beneath that truck that when he pulled back into his lane he dragged my bike with him. This is what happens when a driver doesn't pay attention. I was no more than 30 feet in front of him when he proceeded to make a left hand turn across my lane. My bike is a total loss because someone wasn't keeping their eyes on the road. I limped away from it with a few injuries (so far) and hopefully only a week or so layed up but it could have been different in so many ways. Pay attention folks because motorcyclists are everywhere and, for the motorcyclist, there is no such thing as a minor accident.

as far as i'm concerned, it's just pretty evil to say "i'm here and i want to get there as fast as possible" without taking responsibility for everything you put your 'foot' on inbetween the two.
i can't wait to give up bike riding, stupid humans growing food THOUSANDS of miles away from their home... what the fuck are you thinking, people? "how to make life really suck?"

Who says you have to go fast? I'd rather go in comfort....

Wow, just look at that place. Much nicer than my apartment and probably a lot faster too. But really they're just homes for wasteful, fickle people.

I remember this kid in high school who had a Kawi Daytona 400 that dusted everything. Cats would come from all over South Dade county looking for
this guy to race him.
I think I'm going to look for an older BMW K
series for my next bike.
