Chris Craft et. al. Bike Week Whiners...

For one week a year, in a riding season that's about 6 mos. long in New England, bikers have precedence in one part of one state. Give us a break!!

Do you have any idea how many cagers KILL motorcyclists due to right of way violations and 'not seeing the biker'?? Plenty!! Just ask former Congressman Bill Janklow (R- S.D.). who just finished the lamest sentence (100 days) for vehicular homicide. He sped through a stop sign at 80+ mph and killed a biker out for a Sunday afternoon ride with his pal.

For your information, many bikers are well educated, not drug addicts, not drunks and not covered with tattoos. I took up riding two years ago and LOVE IT!! My husband and I ride together and have a great time exploring New England on our bikes -- on pavement, on dirt roads, and on legal off-road trails. Our friends that bike are the same way --

So please, when you suffer some aggravation due to traffic, etc. at bike week, remember that motorcyclists are at a distinct disadvantage in a crash with a car and to

"Check Twice - Save a Life"
MOTORCYCLES ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!

(especially during bike week :-)
