The doom of beginning to commute to work - Page 3 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

gsginn · 11-29-2008, 11:58 PM

Started riding again about 2 1/2 yrs ago bought a new 06 M50 in 05/06. Have had 3 close calls. First one was a pickup w/trailer one car length in front of me,on freeway have a tire on trailer blowout spun him around. How I missed him don't know. Number two she would have tried to share my lane if I was in my cage or on the bike. Hate drivers on cell phones!!! The third one was onther bike.Passed me on the right (city street) waved and then turned left. I ride everyday (I drive my cage only when I have to) I find that if you ride like no one can see you or if they can they want to hit you, you will be ready for almost anything. Also I have both a headlight modulator and a brake modulator. I know the headlight modulator works cause I see other drivers take a quick second look. Both of my bikes have these on them (have a 08 C109 & M50. (M50 is for sale) ) if you don't have them !!! GET THEM!!!!! Only other thing is ride relaxed,have fun and keep rubber on the downside

I should be elected dead thread moderator. Any time a thread older than say 1yr gets revived I can lock it. Nevermind... I elect Landry.

Wrong thread. Landry is in the MIA thread. It has been a bit slow around here lately so a zombie thread really "livens" thing up. Don't ya think?

That's why I elected him. Not here to decline.

Just my two cents worth....

Actually, statistically, when there is an accident between a car and a motorcycle it is the cars fault a little over half the time, but 40% of all bike accidents only involve the motorcycle and its rider.....

Now this has to be the first double zombie rising I have witnessed.

Actually, I think it's a triple. I'm the guilty party for the second revival, what can I say, boredom strikes again!
