I don't know,it doesn't phase me anymore. I have been in the fire dept for 30 years. I see a lot of ways to get killed, not just bikes. Be careful, do what you gotta do, but don't dwell on it. All you will do is freak your self out.

My sentiments are with "Glock"...ever notice these accidents/near misses mostly start out with...It was a beautiful day, minding my own business (or such), when suddenly...I AM GOING TO TELL ALL OF YOU ABOUT MY GREAT RIDING SKILLS, WHICH LACKING, SURELY WOULD HAVE MEAN'T DEATH.
Ride...and be safe.

I've never understood why people get their panties all wadded up over what gets posted on a forum. If reading about a wreck or a near miss bothers you why do you even bother with it? Why not just skip it and read posts that interest you. I don't read every thread posted here and it doesn't bother me if there are multiple conversations going on about the wave or best oil to use.

Reading post about what happened or almost happened is entertaining depending on the poster[child]. I use it as a reminder to be vigilant everyday. I also feel the need to reply to the rants if it involves my freedoms. I enjoy this forum while I drink my morning coffee and watching the evening news. If I am bored there is always written entertainment available.

I like when people post their near misses, so I can learn from them. But the other day there was a couple of threads about being rear ended at a light. So the next day I paid extra attention to my mirrors pulling up to a light. As I made a mental note of my development into a master biker, the light turned green. I let out the clutch and stalled. I was in 3rd.
Duh!
Duh!
