About Me

Currently ride a Honda CBR1100xx Blackbird. Been riding for about 20 years on road and trail bikes. Have been a Firefighter for the last 19 years, and have seen too many motorcycle deaths and injuries. I wanted to join MATES to be part of a community solution to a community problem, being the motorcycle community. MATES is not a group with a government mandate to go down one path or another due to election promises. It is a community group which allows all sectors of the motorcycle fraternity to identify the real life problems and offer solutions in many ways, which are a consequence of these motorcycling crashes. I just want to help with the solution.

      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.
