About Me

Unfortunately my experience with motorbikes was short-lived, but thankfully I lived! My own ignorance of the dangers could've spelt the end of me, but someone was looking out for me that day I chose to take a friend's bike for a highway cruise unlicensed and inexperienced. Since that day I've only ever been a passenger, but at least I have an appreciation for how important it is for motorcyclists to understand the dangers and fine line between fun and disaster. Stay safe everyone, and use this site to share your experiences and make the road safer for all motorcyclists.

      When Lane Spilitting Goes Wrong

      This is a story from Brazil.  The reaction from the driver is totally unjustified, however I would suggest the rider should not have kicked the car in the first place.
