| Retro | I found this page on common riding mistakes:
http://www.flamesonmytank.co.za/CommonMistakes.htm
I would have to add a couple to the list:
1) Riding a motorcycle without an M class license or insurance.
2) Shorts, tank-top, thongs....nuff said
3) Stoppies, wheelies, crowded public streets...
Any others??
Ride safe!

| bear | OH, yeah
1. never ride while impaired
A. Booze
B. Drugs
C. medacations
D. Angry
E. hurt, broken heart, after finding out you lost a loved one or close friend, sometimes a ride will clear your head, but in the mean time your mind isn't on what is important while riding..
2. on a bike that you haven't checked out your self, tire pressure, oil, fuel, chain adjustment, etc.
3. picking to far to ride in one day as per you ability, never let some-one talk you into doing something you are not comfotable doing
4. Never, never street race or drag race stoplite to stoplite
5. never loan your bike out to a inexperinced rider
6. never take a person riding on pinnon that is Impaired, drunk, druged or acting wild.
7. never overload your bike--load to high to far back, top heavy
8. never ride durning a tornado, don't laugh, I know about this one..
9. never ride in high cross winds, sand storms, snow storms, lightning storms.
10. never, never assume that the people you are riding with are good riders until you see for yourself, they may talk the talk, but can't walk the walk, inexperinced riders cause a lot of accidents
11. never ride with someone or a group that is drunk, drugged, or wild acting, if you do stay back to pick up the peices, better to pick up, then to be part of..
12. Do as I say, not as I do.....

| KCLu | I have found that its very important not to ride too close behind anyone at Glencoe, you never know when someone's going to have the urge to burst into a full blown burn out on da dirt.
Ride safe & Sparkly!
