It actually amazes me how relatively few motorcycle deaths there are, especially in places like here in Connecticut, where there's no helmet law.

No Helmut law in Michigan as well. A radio show I listen to out of Detroit was discussing the no Helmut law a while back ... they found some statistics that claimed that motor cyclist were receiving less medical treatment since the Helmut law came into effect ... now, they could not find statistics, but they speculated that either motor cycle deaths are up or cyclist without helmets are more cautious.

LMAO, but I really do love the sound of a Harley and had my wife talked into it until I had a scooter wreck in Key West. She was on her own but figured if this moron can't handle a freakin' scooter, no way am I getting on the back of a Harley, no matter how cute I'd look in the clothes. She'd seen her sister's Harley duds and that's how she even considered it.

Did you go to the Terrance Williams scooter academy?

I love the sound of a Harley, as long as it doesn't have the straight pipes, and the decibel level is tolerable. I've heard guys say they like their bike loud, so it's safer.
I ask them how they can stand it being that loud the whole time they're riding, and they say you don't hear it as loud when you're not behind it....Okay, so how is it safer then?

I hate the posing twerps who buy Harley D's over here.
They usually work in marketing and ride them between June and August up and down the Kings Rd and to work and back, they have all the Official Harley Gear, Harley Leathers, Harley Key-Rings, Harley Back-Packs the whole Harley Ensemble (except waterproofs, because they're terrified of riding it in the rain).
If You ever have the misfortune to speak to them, they'll find a way to tell You they have a Harley inside the 1st 10 seconds, as if that somehow makes them cool. In My MC Courier days they were constantly in the way, because they had no clue how to ride them through traffic.
1st minor spill, they'll sell it and go back to driving a car (the "coolest" one they can afford of course).

I assume they are saying the volume alerts other drivers to their presence, but I would also think it limits their ability to hear others around them.

Right, but if it's only loud behind them, how does that help?

Another hot and humid day...

I looked like it. We we're taking my wife's scooter back to change it out because it was acting weird and I was driving it when it locked up and launched me over the front and I was able to get my arms out in front of me to protect my head and face but I landed on my forearms and knees in coral dust and that crap was still coming out 2 months later. I was limping around Key West and Key Largo with bandages over both arms, and legs and my wife was telling onlookers that it was a shark attack and didn't tell them the truth. I told her with these injuries, piranha attack would be more plausible.

The doc in the ER was picking that stuff out of me for over an hour and he said it's one of the most common injuries with bikes and scooters because visitors are not used to the coral dust. But up until that point, we were having a fine time.

Hot and Humid until Wednesday ...

 

[Juggernaut]

Or until the leaves "fall" off in Autumn (Happy?) and you have to rake them up.

You used the proper word just for Me, I'm deeply touched Bruv.
Though I quite like "Fall", it's got a "does what it says on the tin" quality to it, much like the Baseball Stadium in Arlington, that was imaginatively named "The Ballpark in Arlington".

What's "Bruv"?

 

[Runwildboys]

FYI, I ask him what "Bruv" is every time he says it to me.

Lol.

 

[JoeKing]

This forum really is outstanding. I will try to show my appreciation in the future by making a donation just as soon as the wife allows me. I guess my complaint is with the wife.

Road construction is unbelievable this year. A lot of detours due to bridges being redone.

Better the inconvenience than a bridge collapse. I certainly understand construction being a pain, road work never ends...
