Hopefully this is the right place to send this. I’m still trying to work out the protocol for this blog.
I’m fully in agreement that 90% of motorcycle crashes can be avoided. In my opinion, good observation is can usually prevent the use of great skills. But sometimes one needs to use both.
I took this video a year ago just outside of Monroe City, MO. It was 400 miles into a long day, so I had every excuse not to pay attention and to zone out.
Back then, I’d video all my rides just in case something like this happened. Then I’d go back and review it to see if I could have done something better.
