Default San Antonio Area Motorcyclists Concerned After Recent Deaths

So today KSAT posted a news story about how local cyclists are concerned after over the last week 2 bikers had been killed and 1 seriously injured.

Opinions?

Personally I feel that we all have to be extra careful when it comes to riding (especially in the city areas) around those cages.

Just this weekend a cage tried to lane change right into me. Didn't even look.

However I still feel that there are other bikers out there who do some pretty stupid things on the roads and may or may not deserve what they get.

Waddaya'll think?

The last big group ride we all took together last month, a guy looked over at us and said. Remember guys, y'all are nothing more than moving targets...............so watch your azz!
Yeah....People just don't generally look out for motorcycles, ya gotta paid attention to whats going on around ya at all times. Oh and remember to leave yourself away out, keep them eyes wide open!

One of the guys I ride with got hit by a woman who dropped her cell phone and was trying to find it. He saw what was happening and took evasive manuvers but still got wiped out. AND guess what....she had no insurance! She should have gone to jail but just got cited for no insurance.

Neither car that hit me had insurance. Be safe out there, people...

Are you surprised ? Both times Jim's in Axtell has had to rebuild my rides it has been from me being hit by some bastid tosser w/o insurance. And, to add insult to injury, both cars were boosted w/ plates so hot you'd get burned wearing asbestos gloves !! Go figure
