Most of the time is isn't the motorcycle driver's fault, but people just don't look out for them.

There are two types of people when it comes to bikes, you either love them or hate them. I agreed it could be the most dangerous way to get from point A to point B but there is no feeling like the find in your face and the road at your feet. There are too many people killed each year on motorcycles but I guarentee most of those people died happy. I just lost my dad on july 22 when he was involved in an accident as well. My dad loved his bike and the open road more then anyone i have ever known. Even though it was way to early in life for him (55) he died a happy man. I'll probably never own another bike myself but not because of fear but because the cost of not being there for my wife and child is just way to high.
Be carefull out there riders, look both ways and watch out for the big boys. When you hit the road rev it up loud just one time for my daddy and all the fallen riders who have went on ahead of us.

People, please slow down and watch out for motorcycles, they are everywhere.

Kindred: Thank you so much for kind words. Yours along with so many other have meant so much to my family and me. My mom told me three others have been killed along Savannah highway since my dad. Somebody was telling me of a guy on Wood Ave just a few days ago and now this morning. 1 or 100 it's just too many.

Its horrible trying to pull out onto veterans drive. You can hardly see any traffic because of the houses, fences, and brush. It's a wonder that we don't have more fatal wrecks on Veterans dr. "By all means I'M NOT CALLING FOR MORE REDLIGHTS".

This is awful. I am sorry and my thoughts go to the family of the man who was killed. Also Mrbradg my thoughts are with your clients too I bet they are hurting mentally too. In a situation like this no one goes unscathed I donot think.
