Re: Another fallen rider
The problem is the people that get bikes and think they are Ben Spies or super stunt master and barely know how to ride the bike in the first place! Sorry to here of another death and it is getting to often, but please, it really is most of the time a stupid rider doing something stupid!
Of the 20 fatal motorcycle accidents on state roads in October, nine involved males in their 40s or 50s, and the majority involved leisure or touring bikes, state police spokeswoman Deborah Cox said.
Not sure how many 40 and 50 year olds on cruisers are super stunt masters. The number 1 fatatlity causing accident on a motorcyle is a car turning out in front of the bike or a car coming the opposite direction making a left turn in front of a bike. The problem is the people in the cars on their cell phone, reading a book, doing make up, etc. Yes there are idiots that do stupid crap on bikes, but they are the minority. It has been proven time and time again.

since i just woke up

Here is the wiki definition: Cager is also used by motorcyclists and bicyclists to describe a person who drives a car. Similarly, cars themselves are described as "cages". The term is derived from the common feeling among motorcyclists that driving or riding in a car feels like being trapped in a cage, as well as alluding to the safety cages in modern cars, and to a certain extent the locked-in mindset of "cagers" who refuse to acknowledge the practicality of other modes of transport.
