Sometimes the learning curve can be real sharp. There is more to surviving a motorcycle ride then luck.

HUH? Are you saying that not riding like an ******* has no bearing on whether you crash and does nothing to increase your odds of survival out on the highway?? I'm having a hard time following that logic.

Riding is a dangerous recreational activity especially in a congested state like NJ and every time I pull into my garage after a ride I feel like I got over on the grim reaper one more time.

Statistics don't lie. If you do the following your chances increase and so on and so on. If everytime you ride you ignore safe driving guidlines your time is limited no matter what you drive.

Yeah, I just heard on the news that a guy was killed on a bike in a town called Richland, not that far from here. Seems he ran a red light and he was killed on the spot and his female passenger received severe injuries. Neither were wearing helmets. WTF? This is a helmet state.

Don't even know what to say.
