When was the last time you had a refresher course on riding?

When was the last time you and your buddies stopped to have a beer and it turned in to 3 or 4 and you still got on your bike and rode home?

When was the last time you rode a little too swiftly and had a scare?

We all have lapses in judgment - we are human and therefore not perfect.

I ask these questions because of all of the deaths and accidents I see in the news feeds daily right now.

Riding a motorcycle is so many things, exhilarating, refreshing, mind clearing and DANGEROUS.

Taking extra risks like riding too fast or drinking and riding is just plain old unwise, we know it and yet...

When was the last time you told someone you thought their behaviour on their bike was unacceptable to you and gave the community a black eye?

When was the last time you told someone that you didn't want them to loose their license and you phoned for a cab for them or wrestled their keys from them?

When was the last time you looked down at your speedo and decided you needed to slow down?

I ask these questions because thinking and riding is the most important thing you can do, for you, your friends and your community.

Part of motorcycle awareness is awareness from the rider - awareness of their own vulnerability. Riding is dangerous, please don't add to the risk factor, I for one want you around...

Please ride like everyone around you is blind and please be respectful with your throttle hand.
