[] AS MOTORCYLCE SEASON COMES TO A START, I FEEL THE NEED TO SAY THIS! our friends were drivin home from white river on the old road to windsor.just got threre bike out fer the season, they,ve been motorcyclin with us fer years, older couple, so have the expierience that comes with it, but as it went, this young girl saw them comin down thru, set there waited fer the motorcylce to git almost to her, thought she had time to pull out before the bike got there, or no patience, either or, and pulled out in front of them. and the husband tried swervin, and puttin on the breaks, to go round her, hit the light sand on the side of the road and slid under the back end of the car, the both of em, she drug them with the car, 100ft down hte road, killin them both, it cannot be done,.------- a motorcycle cannot stop on an instant! they ended up under the back end of the car, and she dragged them good 100ft. killin both of them. i say this twice cause it needs to sink in, fer both car and motorcylists, i wonder if the girl figures her time is worth 2 lives now. too many times these things happen. all becauyse people dont think, or in a hurry, or just no patience, or respect fer those who love the freedom of the road to ride a motorcycle. this needs sayin. people that have never driven a bike cannot understand, just what it takes to handle that bike, it,s heavy fer one thing, and balance, and have to watch out more fer deer crossin, dogs, people, that think they got time to walk in front of a motorcylce, so we have more to watch out fer in the first place, and drivin on the tail of the bike is just as dangerous to people who ride bikes also, because goin from the main road to dirt, the bike can slide also, the back tire front tire gits in that sand and that,s it. with the weight behind it, it will bring the back tire around and theere,s no handlin it toll, it,s goin where it wants too. when momma and daddy give the kids the new bikes, those crochrockets, ya know, that are just learnin to ride, have no respect fer the road or nyone else thats on it, the expierence, of the do,s and dont,s with a motorcycle, and the foolish chanes the youngins take because of the love of speed, a new toy, and think they can handle any situation, we all have to look out fer them, and watch out fer them, what,s the sayin, kids have no fear, well it,s true. seen it too many times, and as all of us that know this, too many times weve saved good many lives with these kids, both car and bikers, by knowin this and allowin them to do what they do, to save there lives of bein foolish. as even when it comes to those kids first learnin to drive a car, no difference. like this little girl, i feel fer her, though cause she,s got to live with herself knowin this that she killed 2 people, that had lives, family, hound dogs, and FRIENDS. NOW IT,S GONE. only that motorclyes cant do what cars can do. i hope ya hear what i,m sayin,just cause we,re smaller they think, the kids, and cars, that we can go and git around anythin or one.the youngins dont think either, that comes from expierence, time or a GOOD LESSON, TO PUT FEAR INTO THEM! TO RESPECT EVERYTHIN ONE, AND RESPECT THE ROAD, but this was a terrible accident, a terrible lesson this young girl learned by. and i hope this season has fewer deaths, than last, but this year isnt startin out too good here, fer us. i guess my whole inclination of this situation is, fer those who love the raod, be it car, truck, motorcylce, or moped, or even walkin on the side of the road, WE ALL NEED TO RESPECT EACH OTHER, hep each other, watch out fer each other so,s were all safe and happy, and have a good time doin what we love to do. be it whatever! and i hope and pray this fer everyone. while we,re goin on vaction sat. fer 3 weeks and all thru the years. every year we go on our motorcycle outin to bike week, at lake george, laconia,nh. and new york again, we see at least 2 accidents at each one. sometimes deaths, or smashin up the bikes, and cars./ it,s too bad. all because of foolishness or no respect, or no patience. it needs to stop. course we knwo it won,t but we hope fer it. later mare i need to say one more thing, most will probably say, well this ought ot be goin without sayin, well y know, it, dont, otherwise these stupid accidents wouldnt happen. that,s why i NEEDED TO SAY IT. sometimes remindin us all, is good.
so instead of startin our vacation out with hooray! can,t wait to go! which they were looin forward to goin also to the bike outins, we,re goin to a funeral, and it makes us . [][]
