I just got word that the Premier of BC will be at this event.
Got a bike and want to tell you're MLA something about it?
A very good event with a good turn out of all sorts of bikes.
As usual we were most popular with the toruists and school kids but many of the politicos and their staff came out to see what the noise was all about.
There's an example of their nice new Honda St1300's.
Fast enough that you'd think they would not be late, but I guess there's never one around when you need one.
Neat pics Ride.
I wonder how long until St. Lucy comes and infests this thread...
No worst example of why this sort of thing is nessesary was a few days ago when a driver, playing with her cell phone looked away long enough to drift onto the side where she struck and killed a cyclist. Motor or not, it simply takes a second to cause an accident. 75% of the accidents between cars and motorcycles are the fault of the driver.
The old saying is that the rider may have the right of way, but it's the right of way to the hospital.
Motorcycles are hard too see in traffic because often, those singal lights get lost in traffic and when there is no reference, it is difficult for drivers to gauge the speed a bike is closing. Drivers look for cars and bikes are a small thing that gets missed. I'd urge all drivers to look twice because you may lose a fender but we loose much more.
St Lucy? I enountered someone today bitching about Harpers today. This lady was more enthusiastic than nessesary so I doubt she'd have the skills to type.
Is this some deep harbored hatred or did I do the bad word thing again?
Did it make ya mad? Did it make ya mean dog mad? did it make ya fighting, mean dog mad? ...
(anyone who remembers SCTV "The grapes of mud" should recognise that)
Sorry, small hemlet = mind wanders
