Be careful out there

[ricksbike]

Well lets reflect,I was riding home from a friends house going about 45mph on a curvy road,nice sunny day,when I came around a blind corner,and in the road were about 10 horses and their riders taking up 2 lanes,I hit the brakes HARD,both tires squealing,needless to say,it scared the poop out of me,I stopped about 10 feet from them,and the part that gets me is they didn`t even care,just walked their horses across the road,now in my opinion that was a pretty stupid thing to do,they had little kids with them and if I hadn`t been alert alot of people and horses would have gotten hurt or worse,so again be careful out there!!!!!

Glad it worked out well. People do some dumb stuff.

Yea that kind of stupidity is amazing. So typically I will say us folks on scoots pay WAY more attention to what we are doing then cages. So some joker in a cage comes along texting his girl friend and BOOM.

There is no way around it, everytime we hit the public roadway we are taking a big chance. Texting and stupidity, almost interchangeable, are big but im noticing a whole lot of just plain ol' not giving a sh#&. Im getting pretty selective about when and where I ride.

Agree totally, down there, up here seems there are more & more idiots around who think they own the roads & just don't give a $h1t.

Saw a guy yesterday in a traffic queue, driving a Maserati no less, phone in his hand texting, (it's actually illegal here in BC) the cars in front of him had moved off 25 yds plus before he looked up & moved! What attention was he paying to his driving?

The clowns behind just sit patiently waiting for him to move instead of leaning on their horns to wake him up.
