Wow, this is kind of disturbing. But I'm biased beyond belief of people doing things in a car when they should be driving. The guy that hit us was on his cell and "never saw them". That was over 5 years ago and I still can't walk. Please, PLEASE, be careful when you are driving and keep yours eyes open for the two wheel rides also. Bikers are people too.

Agreed. I used to have a bike, (a Triumph Daytona...sigh..:wub:), and someone told me something that was SO true..."when you're on there, you're just like Wonder Woman in the plane, you become invisible." While I LOVED it, it was just too damn tiring trying to keep MY eye on everyone ELSE.

EVER so sorry to hear about your accident Jules!

If I run out on my one pv (peanut butter) in the car and I don't have a red light to drip at I just pull my back up (mint) out and it works until I do hit a red light.

I've been hit from behind by someone who completely fell asleep at the wheel (I was at a red light at the time)....so also a reminder...if you're tired...pull over to take a nap.

i ride a motorcycle all i used to worry about was cell phones kids in the back, or my favorite women applying make up.. now i have been ran onto the shoulder by someone on a cell, and when i kicked their door they looked at me like i was the crazy one, a guy reading a newspaper was swerving, and he lost a side mirror i dont feel sorry at all for this because both times i was almost killed because they were "multi-tasking" please keep your eyes on the road, and if you almost hit someone on a bike think about the end result, your car may have a scrape but someone lost a dad, mom, brother, sister, so or daughter because of your carelessness

Okay I admit it. I do it okay!!! But I'm really cautious about it. I made a drip tip out of an old 510 cart (creative bandsaw work) and it works great. Cartos are a good choice but they just don't match the flavor and hit. I'll do cartos if I'm in city traffic but my commute is 50 min of freeway.

I've been riding bikes for almost 40 years now. The "invisible" line the lady used earlier in the thread is absolutely the only way to stay alive on two. You gotta pretend at all times that no one cane see you. I'm hyper aware on the bike! Never sit in someone's blind spot, tailgate or ride like a madman. But the bigeest lifesaver is loud pipes. You can bellyache all you want about us nasty Harley riders and our thunder-loud machines, but trust me, everyone knows your there and it saves lives.

Some idiot tried to 'door prize' me. TWICE!! I don't know if he thought he knew me or something but he GOT to know me when I jumped off the bike at the first red light and KICKED his side mirror off the car. :evil:

Keep in mind I'm 5'3" and 100 pounds.

Shoulda seen the look on his face!!

'LOUD PIPES SAVE LIFES'

I've seen it on a few Harleys. Too true. While the Triumph was no Harley in the pipes department, I would give it a few loud revs in traffic upon occasion.

.........or combing your hair, or reading the newspaper, or.......... ;) ;)

I hope everyone knows I am being sarcastic here for a reason.

I think this issue of folks texting and/or talking on a cell phone has turned
into an ugly epidemic, and something needs to be done about it sooner
than later.
Many studies have only supported what should be obvious; driving a motor vehical requires ALL of your attention and cells phones while driving is
very dangerous weather the person knows it or not.

I have seen folks do some very stupid things on the road simply because they were concentrating on their cell phone instead of paying attention.

And I will support any well written legislation to put a stop to it and educate the public on WHY they are dangerous.

Sorry for my OT, end of rant :oops:

P.S. BTW, no, I do not drip and drive. I use my eGo w/blue foam loaded cart and it lasts me for my travels. I never even have to look at it and take you eyes off the road. Just stick it in my face, push the button and suck!!
