A good friend and his wife went down sunday night! They were following a truck on a rural road and coming to a four way intersection the vehicle pulled into the oncoming lane as if they were turning left (no turn signal), it then swept back to make a right and the bike ran into the passenger side! He and his wife are both in rough shape but he got the worst of it and is critical at this time. The thing that irritates me are morons that comment on our local news website and don't know the details or the people... people post these heartless comments on the site and then the family has to see them! Here is the news story.. please keep them in your thoughts! http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2012/08/two _motorcyclists_remain_hospi.html |

So sorry to hear that, buddy... "local news websites"... DO NOT let that crap bother you. In fact, don't read ANY of it AT ALL unless you just want to be entertained by monkeys throwing shit. As far as public discourse goes, that's all it amounts to be. Do keep us BW baboons updated, we'll take care of the monkeys. |

Good reminder to never assume anything. Don't assume a left turner is turning left until they have turned left. Particularly if they are not signaling the left turn either... My prayers for the injured... |
