Fear of death or injury

[CB4ME_imp]

I review them every once in awhile too Tortuga, and as gruesome as they can be I consider them a reality check. But I still get on my bike and rely on my instincts and better judgment to keep me alive. Besides, I think most of them are filmed in third world countries devoid of rules that we may take for granted. Germany, France and Italy all have the Autobahn, yet because of driver training and discipline, it works there.

I live near the U.P. of Michigan and fear for my life every day!

I'd fear all those frost heaves - My folks lived near Copper Harbor and some of the roads were bad!

Captain - excellent points. And fear can be a good thing.

Last year Harford County Maryland set an unfortunate record - kids on crotch rockets failing to negotiate a corner at extremely high speeds, cruiser riders with those teeny weenie beanie helmets dropping their bikes and bonking their heads, bikes running into the back of other vehicles (called not paying attention) and of course collisions caused by idiot cagers.

As motorcyclists, we all take risks. I hope we all follow the Captain's strategy in minimizing those risks. Be careful out there.
