    :roll:

    The term "speed" really means "too fast for conditions", which is precisely why collisions occur.

    Nice comment Tricks I can tell that you don't ride. When and if you ever do watch out for the shit you have no control over like large bugs, birds and other critters you will have to deal with at any speed. I lost a good friend that took a bird in the chest at 80 k in a corner.

    I gather this is on the road they call "going to the sun highway". As for riders hitting birds etc., why would anyone ride without adequate gear including a proper windshield to mitigate risk? If not, you pay your money and take your chances because everyone knows that m'c's are inherently dangerous.

    One more tip, don't forget your travel insurance. A friend of mine T-Boned a car that had whipped a shit hook in front of him on the bridge in Sand Point Idaho. His medical bills were just over $27000 in the first 24 hours. That included a C-Scan and helicopter evac. He's a firm believer in always wearing a helmet now. He was one of the lucky ones.

    Luckily, we did have travel insurance. My husband Jason was not speeding, in fact it was determined he was well under the speed limit. My son has since recovered.

    Don't believe everything you read in the papers.
