I will break it down for you troll. Nothing wrong with your reminder for those who ride like that if they can read---It is a sad event, two people died over foolishness---I don't ride 80 mph in residential areas or town----I don't know these people and will not be attending their funeral---I am only responsible for my actions---back to the I don't ride like that. By my original post that shows a degree of callousness toward foolish riders--they are everywhere. This isn't a new problem and I was expressing remorse that people died. You may have a humble opinion but you are now trying to be insulting. Start a troll argument with someone else with your insulting all knowing motorcycle god remarks ----TROLL.

In my humble opinion everyone, and I mean everyone, can use a little reminder now and then to pay attention to what they're doing...

No troll here, and not trying to start an argument. Just where were you "expressing remorse that people died"? I was just putting something up that might be of some interest to some of the members of this forum. Just a reminder to those who want to read it that speed can kill, whether on a bike or in a car/truck. If you don't need an occasional reminder about safety good for you, but why post comments that basically say f@ck 'em, I don't know 'em, ain't my problem?

-----SAD EVENT----Did you not see it in the first post? That is remorse where I live. You read too much into a simple to the point post and then get aggressive and defensive. Then you go on the attack with insults. It wasn't a fk u post --it was I have seen this before and I am no longer surprised by some peoples errors in judgment. The accident wasn't an accident. It was a tragedy caused by bad choices like most tragedies I have worked or seen. It will not change how I ride and sadly these people will be missed by others but not me--I did not know them. I miss the people I miss because of a personal connect or the ability to put myself in that situation not from an article that doesn't connect with me.

I used to be real bad about speeding in a car when I was younger. I thank the good Lord every day for not allowing me to kill someone or myself. I live on a short two lane called an extension between two major highways. The speed limit is 35 MPH and we have folks pass our house daily at 60+. There are children in the neighborhood and also a few older ladies that walk the street for exercise. I cannot understand why on a road less than one mile long that folks feel the need to drive that fast.
My wife drives a Ford Excursion just because she is afraid of being hit by someone and killed because she would not stand a chance in a Honda or other cracker box car. I bought a Honda Civic a few years back and she refused to ride with me and I finally sold it. Funny how she will ride the motorcycle though?
If everyone would follow these simple rules we would not even need insurance in this country:
1) Allow enough time for your commute.
2) Follow at 1 car length per every 10 MPH of speed.
3) Obey all posted traffic laws especially the speed limit.
4) Focus entirely on driving and do not be distracted.
5) Be respectful to others on the road
Instead we live in a world where it is all about me, the laws really don't apply to me and it is my right to have a cell phone and text while I drive.
