around here, Memorial day (towards the end of Sept.) is the "official" last good riding weekend.
Everybody who has a bike, is out on it, and it's dangerous. I DON'T ride that weekend at all.
I call it "amateur days". There's folks killed every year exceeding their abilities.
They ride on some weekends, had the bike 3 or 4 or 5 years
with almost a thousand miles on it total,
so they think since they've had it so long, they know how to ride.
Sport biker riders are the worst, but we get a few cruiser riders die every year too.
just because ya own a bike, don't make ya a biker....
The guy in the pictures Lon posted proves that....
