As the weather breaks and we move closer to the dog days of summer it is a very enjoyable event to fire-up the two wheeler for a ride to cool off and let mother nature perform it's natural wonders in the form of fresh air, the cool breeze of an evening ride and a swallowed bug every now and then. Please ride respectfully and careful, wear your helmet and riding gear (protection) even the most seasoned rider can be subject to a mistake by a unsuspecting motor vehicle driver. Remember it's not always the motorcyclist fault, and riding has it's own draw backs when others are not paying attention and can lead to a fatal accident by no fault of the cyclist.
Please ride to ride again. Be aware of your surroundings. A cautious rider is a safe rider, your loved-ones will thank you.
Be safe and enjoy your bike, don't be a statistic. Your family needs you.
