IMG_2747.mov Party started in Asheville! It’s karaoke night!

Same here in terms of motorcycle related accidents in our state. Too many bad news. When riding, we always have to be diligent and wear the right gear. With that said, it is still a great time to keep riding and enjoy the weather and the outdoors. I hope to see more posts in this site in the near future. Enjoy the night.

Hello All. It has been very quiet here lately with almost no posts. At any rate, I've been riding for the last 4 days switching between the RSV and SVTC. Weather has been great with much lower temperature and humidity. This type of weather will continue up to this coming Friday, so ride safe everyone. Enjoy the night.

My backup bike is an identical twin to my 89 VR. Both my bikes have always been stored outside. Bonus ....the parts are interchangeable. Downside is for various reasons plus after getting cut off for the umpteenth time in mid July and not getting completely out of it unscathed (the bike not me) I am debating continuing riding 2 wheels in an environment full drivers who do not belong behind the wheel of any vehicle, possibly not even a shopping cart. In this instant I was riding home at midnight, when an overloaded pickup coming towards me totally blinded me with his highbeams, I am talking total blackout blindness, which forced me completely back of the throttle and apply my brakes. But that wasn't enough, he than turned left in front of me to go into Tim Hortons forcing me to bank hard left in an attempt to avoid him. Thought I was going to miss him but then he suddenly stopped before going over the curb at the entrance and I ended up catching piece of him, smashing my right front signal light and cracking my fairing below it. So as I stated there are just tooooo many incompetent drivers in my area and I am rethinking my life on a motorcycle.
