Motorcycle Safety

This is a repost from a facebook cause that a buddy ask me to join, I'm such an advocate that I decided to share it here as well. So please read below.

Being an avid motorcycle enthusiast I know first hand what it is like to have people ignore your presence on the road. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I've been pulled out on or have seen other motorcycles be pulled out in front of without regard to the drivers safety.

Last year at Delmarva Bike Week 2010 I w...as riding home with my wife on the bike along side of a buddy and his wife, we were doing around 65 MPH to keep up with traffic, there was a group of bikers ahead of us by about four or five car lengths. The group ahead of us changed lanes to pass some cages that were moving too slow for their taste, so far no harm no foul because it happens all of the time; well I noticed in my mirror that there was a cage whipping in and out of traffic like he was in the Indianapolis 500 or something so I pulled over to the right hand lane. This idiot in the cage must have been doing 90 or better because he was passing other vehicles with little effort. I noticed that one of the members of the group ahead of us moved over to the right hand lane but the second member did not. Well "Mario Andretti" just kept on going like nothing was wrong.

I immediately got this really bad feeling in my gut that something bad was going to happen right in front of me slow I let off the gas and started slowing down, looking for an exit just in case I needed it.

The cage got right up on that motorcycles tail and just when you thought that that it was over for the driver and his passenger the cage driver must have realized that "hey, there's a motorcycle right in front of me, maybe I need to slow down" and the cage applied liberal break pressure and slowed down quickly. Fortunately the motorcycle driver and passenger were fine, they must have realized that someone was right on their tail because it seemed that just as soon as "Mario" hit they breaks the dude on the crouch rocket nailed it and got around the car that he was originally passing.

Moral of the story: Please watch out for motorcycles, they have the right to use the highway too so please don't run us over and kill us. Because if you do we will haunt you and your entire family from the grave!
