I feel that riding a bike has improved my driving. In my opinion, bike riders, for the most part, make better drivers because of their increased attention to traffic patterns, what I call "idiot anticipation" and concentration on the road and surrounding elements. I WOULD say that no cell phone use while riding a bike is another safety advantage...until recently. A bulletbike rider was texting while cruising at about 45 mph!! My first reaction was "He knows better than that...I couldn't believe it!" I have had more near-miss situations with drivers on cell phones than anything else. This blows my better driver theory out the window. Just an anomoly? I've seen texting or message checking by bikers at intersections but never on the run. I would love to see a cell phone ban while operating motor vehicles but more especially after what I've been through while on my bikes. I was curious about what you have experienced in your different areas? I am in Texas!
Hello from France.
When I was at Blaye at the Wolves Riders Party, I fancied an ice cream cone, I did ask the guy is it low suger and he replied f *** you, I thought he said yes so here I am caught by Gaille the official soul taker with a cone in the hand.

Hello from France.
I was just going to bed and I looked at my inbox and my friend knows that I am a MOTOR BIKER decides to pi** me off with silly bike piccies.
If this guy had a motor bolted to that frame maybe that coming trip to the dentist would not be needed!

The side of the Scaphoid bone should be smooth.... look at the arrow = not smooth! 6-12 weeks of casting! Ahhhhhhh
Here it is... the Doctor update. I broke my Scaphoid bone... and according to the Dr. it has super poor blood flow and thus is one of the bodies slowest healing bones. This bone takes 6-12 (12 being the norm) in a CAST!
The Dr. says riding will not prohibit healing, if I can comfortably do it in the cast, I can't hurt the healing....
So... the KY ISO grip comes out... the cast fitter molded my cast around my Kuryakyn ISO grip!
Here it is!

Here is another hill climb... tried twice... crashed twice!
Guys and Gals
From my heart let me say that Samantha, myself and Ajay are humbled and deeply moved by the comments, thoughts and the well wishes that we have received from you all.
On behalf of my family let me say "Thank You" one and all for the support shown. It is such a simple word and does not truly convey the gratitude that we feel...... this is yet just another example of the Brotherhood which makes this Community such a wonderful place.
Samantha was in a state of shock when I got there and was a bit of a mess. I Spent some considerable time just holding her whilst she had a major teary.
Whilst she was distraught over the wreck of her pride and joy, she understood how lucky she was to have survived what very easily could have been a very serious accident.
She is still very sore today and is suffering considerable pain and discomfort in her neck, chest and back. The bruising is also starting to come out on her chest.
Once again, THANK YOU ALL, you are a most wonderful and caring group of people that I am PROUD to call FRIENDS
