The bikers and their families do not feel safe here. They have spotty cell phone coverage particularly in the Alton area. They can't call each other or for help. Too many ocean going fast boats and coping with the attitudes of the people who believe it their right to us the full power of their boats to speed around the lake. These are also contributing factors.
You're kidding me, right??? Can't recall the last time I heard of a biker getting run over by a GFBL on the boulevard... I am sure the bikers are scared of a few fast boats that are hundreds of yards from shore at the Weirs under power. Very scary people to deal with, them boaters...

I am more worried about a drunken biker crossing the yellow line and hitting an oncoming car than getting hit by one of them "ocean going fast boats" ...Shall we compare the number of motorcycle deaths each year during Bike Week in NH to the number that die each year by those damn boaters????

I will venture to say that even the speed limit proponents will think your statements are foolish.
