I had a Katana (long ago) which is a little slower than Tod's bike he mentioned. One day, I was riding when a motorhome came in my lane w/o seeing me & I had to squeeze on the sidewalk to aviod it (luckily there was an access to get on it in time). I got back on the road & proceeded to follow the huge motorhome so I could tell the driver he almost waxed me.... it was an old man (probably about 80) who had on glasses & hearing aids... we rolled up to the light together... I said: "Hey! you almost killed me & did not even see me"... he could not hear me!!! So I shouted it again.... "Hey!!!" he looked over at me & sqiunted his eyes putting his hand against his ear & said: "huh?" I gave up & sold that thing when I had my first born. (then I busted my arms on a little scooter 5 years later)

Here is the question I ask since then: Just how the hell is an old man who can't HEAR or SEE doing driving a damn motorhome that is 10 times bigger than a normal vechile???? I mean, am i the only person who thinks that is JUST WRONG??? I respect the elderly, but I was going to kill that guy... talk about dangerous.

PS- Tillman probably DID vote for Obama.

Rigsby, You know what gets me, to drive a commerical vehical you have to have a CDL license and go through school and pay big bucks to have that license, But anyone don't matter how old can go buy a motor home which some are bigger than a commerical vehical and take off not having a clue what there doing. DON'T GET IT.

ive not seen 1 bigger than my truck and a 53 footer i did pull campers for awhile to pay the bills instead of trucking. you have to have a dot physical the same as for cdl and some of the campers i pulled you had to have a class a to pull them and you have to run a log book same as driving a truck. now if it is your camper you dont have to worry about any of that you can even hook your boat or bike trailer behind your camper and drive all day and all night and not be bothered. if you can make a buck doing it then you have to follow all the dot regs. that gripes my ass.

I like bikes, I will ride one on occasion but not in town or at least not in town when it's busy, I.E rush hour or them faithful mid morning hours when mamaul and papaul are on the move.
Bike rides to to me are reserved for cruising down scenic country roads where all I got to worry about is a stupid deer.

i miss the wind in my face and my hair in the wind. the roar of my engine.i have been thinking about going to town on my chopper then throwing my helmet in the weeds and flying home before i get caught,just grab a hand full of throttle and let her go.just one last blast!!!its not the dying im afraid of its the living thru another crash that scares the heck out of me.i cant take anymore pain.

Re: just my opinion
 

off topic ( sorta) but I saw the other day some clown DIED after eating an entire botle of VIAGRA!!! He had some sort of bet with two women about how long he could last with the both of em....I think he went like 5 hours then died...ROFL

They taled about that on Bob&Tom, the guy bet the chics $4000+ that he could keep going for 12 hours with both of them, he made the 12 hours but died just a few minutes later, not a bad way to go! :lol:

Not if they were off the UGLY BUS :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
