Default Live to Ride - Ride to Die - Graphic but important

Before you click on the link know that this site is very graphic, but it is important and gets a message across. Not only riders should visit this site but drivers as well, hopefully it will help make more people aware of motocycles and look for them.


WARNING: NSFW
Live to Ride - Ride to DIE


Always remember that you share the road with others, if you are too distracted or not in the right condition to drive, get off the road.

To be fair, lots of bikers drive like a-holes. They weave in and out of traffic b/c they're smaller and can do it. There have been times I haven't seen bikers next to me, b/c when I checked my mirror 5 seconds ago they were 4 cars behind me and in the other lane. It goes both ways.

The sad thing is that I believe they are actually in the minority, but since they are so annoying people believe they are in the majority.

Those people deserve whatever they get, however, the thing is, it doesn't really go both ways.

If a bad biker is weaving through traffic and hits someone then they die, the car driver is fine, and our reputation is damaged again.

If a good rider is going down the road and a car makes a left turn in front of him (which is how 50% of fatal accidents occur), then the rider dies, cager is probably fine.



Good riders tend to blend in, but bad ones stand out, so everybody assumes that bad riders are the norm. Kind of like import drivers.

It's the same thing with tuners. A few street racers and anyone with a modded car is bad.

Everytime I see some one on a crotch rocket on the road they are the ones weaving in and out of traffic.. But when I see guys or girls on cruisers they normally follow all of the laws. And I've seen many times guys on crotch rockets pulling wheelies on the highway going 90+ mph.

Edit: I personally will never own a bike because I used to BMX and have been around different types of bikes all my life and have no fear with them. So me and a motorcycle would = DUMB lol I'll be honest I could see me doing something stupid on one and risking my life so I choose to stay away from them
