A Lone Biker Riding a Motorcycle In The Wind JUST A BIKER

I saw you hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
You didn't see me put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.

I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.
You didn't see me playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you; change your mind about going into the restaurant.
You didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.
You didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
You didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you, stare at my long hair.
You didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
You didn't see me and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.

I saw you; look in fright at my tattoos.
You didn't see me cry as my children were born and having their name tattooed on my skin and in my heart.

I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
You didn't see me going home to be with my family.

I saw you complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
You didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car.
You didn't see me pat my child's hands knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.
You didn't see me; squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you, race down the road in the rain.
You didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
You didn't see me, trying to turn right.

I saw you; cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
You didn't see me, leave the road.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
You didn't see me. I wasn't there.

I saw you go home to your family.
You didn't see me, because, I died that day you cut me off.

I was just a biker and a person with friends and family. You didn't see me.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON FOR YOUR FRIENDS WHO RIDE, OR HAD SOMEONE WHO MAY HAVE DIED WHILE RIDING A MOTORCYCLE.

Also for those who feel the same way as above about the biker. Pass this on... let’s help make people aware!

Sport Motorcycle Stunt Insanity; Take it off Public Roads!

10:51:00 pm, by Norman Gregory Fernandez, Esq.

Categories: Videos, Motorcycle Accidents, Demonstrations, Editorial, Riding Your Motorcycle

I came across this video and am reluctantly posting it courtesy of youtube.com. This video shows some extreme examples of why our Motorcycle Insurance rates are going up; why the non motorcycle riding public cannot stand us; and what not to do!

This video shows stunts being performed on Sport Motorcycles. You will see what I consider to be idiots doing stunts on public roads, in the middle of traffic, and putting innocent peoples life’s in danger.

My position is that if you want to do stunts, do them on a non public road or parking lot, and have proper riding apparel on. Is your life worth a stunt gone bad?

I have heard that the Sport Motorcycle community is lobbying to put their stunts in the X-Games; cool. But this shit should not be done on public roads and in traffic.

You will also see stunts being done in parking lots and at raceways. I have no problem with that so long as you are self insured. Here is the video.
