I regret your theory on bikers being able to avoid collisions with training . Do you ride a motorcycle ? If so , cruising at 55 or 60 mph feeling the breeze & enjoying your spouse with you not wondering if some careless automobile driver will pull from a driveway or cut you off at each driveway or side road . And all of a sudden there is the opportunity you've been waiting for . Try to break from traffic speed in order to keep from hitting a inexperienced or careless driven car . Now lets take a situation also well known of , & that's having a deer or cow or horse run in front of you . Will practicing emergency stops prevent a collision . More not than yes . My younger brother whom owned & operated several motorcycles for roughly 20 yrs , was coming home one evening about 13 yrs ago at 11:00 PM , when a young teenage boy pulled directly across in front of him . Rons new Honda Espencade 1500 had oodles of lites all over it . Witnesses said the bike could be seen about 1/2 mile away coming towards them & going ahead of them because of all the lites, but the kid said he didn't see any lites . My sweet brother lost his life at age 45 , leaving 2 children & a nearly divorced wife & a girlfriend . The cops said that there was in no way Ron could've missed that kids truck because of the closeness before impact . So sir , what training could Ron have had to prevent his unnessasry death . The kid got off scott free , yes he will live with the memories , but so will his loved ones . Ron lived beside me ,we did a lot to help each other & I still miss him . We need to rethink comments made toward biker riders . By the way , my X wife made me sell my bike immediately because of Rons death . We all need to drive offensively & remember , Bikers don't get a second chance , so take special care to watch out for them more .God bless

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ?
