Its that time of the year again, the start of motorcycle season. Those of us that ride are waking the bike out of a very long winters sleep, we want to ride because it is what moves us. Its a passion, a brotherhood and a great way to clear your head. To my friends that dont ride: Please pay attention on the road, watch, look twice, that person on the bike is someones son, daughter, brother, sister, husband, wife, dad, mom or friend. It might even be me. Also remember, that douchebag you see riding the wheelies isnt all of us, most of us are actually fairly responsible. That guy with the really loud pipes that you find so annoying, again it isnt all of us and dont take it out on the rest of us. To my friends that do ride: Watch out for the potholes, watch out for the distracted drivers. Ride defensively, not offensively. Share the road and dont be an idiot. Half the reason people in cars hate motorcycles is because they see the sportbikes riding wheelies through traffic, the harley riders seeing how obnoxious they can make their pipes, reality is if they see one doing it its perceived its all of us. Share the road and be responsible. If you want to play a little take it away from traffic, back roads or the best bet, a race track. Eventually you may piss off the wrong person, that rarely ends well. To the new riders: Dont let your ego outride your skill. Showing off from a hospital bed or a casket isnt exactly impressive to your friends. Learn to ride, take the MSF class, do a track day, link up with some experienced riders and lose the ego and listen. More than anything, have fun. Please everyone, be safe out there, log the miles and feel the wind and live!! Feel free to share, help get the word out! Jim Whittum
