Just read about a guy cruising down Main St. in GP over the weekend who was killed when an uninsured/unlicensed driver suddenly turned right in front of him. He blamed the "sun".....
that's weird...most of the time someone just has to send "lol" right as a rider is there.
RIP, be safe

Yeah that's one good reason why I ride with the bright light on since the sun is closer to the horizon during the winter months.
Two years ago I had an old man pull across the street in front of me. Just so happened that I had changed my mind earlier that morning about riding the bike to work. Totaled my wife's car and broke my right wrist. The speed I was going, and where I hit him, I would without a doubt be dead had I been on the bike.

So riding with a bright light on might get you noticed more...but I've had it blind me enough to make it hard to maintain a lane. Granted this has only happened once, it easily could have gotten the retard hit. I obviously slowed down and just kept what I felt was a consistent heading, but of course the dbag acts like I did something wrong for slowing down. This is the reason I don't respect most bikers. Don't forget that being noticed doesn't mean you havent blinded us enough to still cause a problem.
If you get blinded by a bright light to the point of possibly losing control of your car you are seriously doing it wrong. Holy shit.
Never said losing control dumbshit. I said maintaing a lane. Let me put a bright ass light in the right spot and see if you can see where you're going.

Failure to maintain your lane IS loosing control of your car, genius.
I love sport bikes, but they are just too dangerous around DFW because of the clueless cagers rolling around. I sold my sport bike many years ago because of that. Wife won't let me get one now and I don't blame her. I really don't want one either.
Dude just got the thing too. He was passing one of the techs from our store and she saw the whole thing go down. It was a r1 or r6 I think. I never got the chance to check it out I first noticed it in the parking lot that day. We are donating some cash to help his family out so if you are local and want to donate stop by and see our HR lady.
