Good article. Except for the one guy that crossed the center line. It's things like that that give the rest of us a bad name.

Interesting. I wonder how much is also due to "riders coming out of hibernation" Being a little rusty may mean that you neglect to look for trouble because, you are simply not used to it anymore, and have to retrain yourself.

Re: 5 Motorcycle Accidents in 48 Hours

"But with at least five bike crashes in 48 hours, the weekend was a hazardous one for motorcyclists on Wake County roads. "

We had 4 up here on Hwy 9, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, CA on Sunday(another one Monday), one dude went wide thru a corner and head-oned into a Miata on a brand new Aprillia Millie---he was hella lucky went right over the car---broke his leg---the Millie was toast--very similarly wasted R1, 100 yrds away, wasted FZR another 100 yrds down the road, then a 929 wasted somewhere in between, then Monday another dude biffed majorly--NO deaths that I know about, but I just dont get it how all these guys wadded---but happens every spring when the weather gets decent---

Theres gonna be Hella-CHP-patroling up there this year---friggin squid-wads
