The season is closing

So much work in trying to find my next job, and have not had nearly the free time I would have thought. I had some errands to run, and decided that I really need to take advantage of these few remaining days before the snow flies. I put air in the tires, and the chaps on the motorcycle (Classic Chaps). Temperature was in the 50's, so it put a bit of a chill in the ride. But with the heavy leather jacket and the chaps blocking the wind on the feet/legs and capturing some of the engine heat, it was nice.

People seemed to have been in a haze as they were driving. A lady at the end of my street backed her car out in front of me. Then just a mile or so down the road, an elderly lady turns left in front of me.

Please watch out for motorcycles out on the road. Many of us ride into the winter. as long as there is no ice, snow, or salt on the roads. You share the road with us, and you can easily kill us if you don't watch what you are doing. Don't drive distracted; whether it is drugs, alcohol, cell phones, flipping the radio, or simply day dreaming.

Lives depend on you knowing what you are doing. We practice avoidance techniques, defensive riding techniques, and use various tools to increase visibility so you will see us. But if there is a collision, it is flesh and leather and fiberglass helmets against multi-ton steel vehicle. We loose every time, no matter who is at fault.
