Dodging the Roadkill: Reading Traffic
Clarksville, TN – One of the first things I ever noticed about riding a motorcycle was what I saw other drivers doing behind the wheel. Having to be so aware of my surroundings, I’m able to see what other motorists are doing, BESIDES driving their vehicle.
I guess it’s just the nature of the beast. You MUST keep your eyes out for danger. I learned very quickly that most all of the other traffic was driving distracted. And I don’t just mean the cell phone.
Everything from putting on makeup, to holding a sandwich in one hand and a drink in the other. It just seems to be the way of the world, that we must be “multi tasking” while driving. It sucks for bikers!

Dodging the Roadkill: Dear Mr. Truck Driver
Clarksville, TN – Don’t be misled by the title of this post. I’m not about to start “bashing” truck drivers.
First of all, I appreciate what you do. This country can’t do anything without you. You spend long hours behind the wheel, many days away from your family, and you get no respect.
You drive HUGE machines all over this country and have to deal with all the idiots out there. Trust me, I’m a biker, I know a thing or two about all the idiots out there.
When I started this journey, I quickly noticed that EVERYBODY on the road, and I mean, EVERYBODY, is distracted. The cell phone will kill us all.

Dodging the Roadkill: The Battle Is Real – Bikers vs Cagers
Clarksville, TN – The battle lines were drawn many years ago. Motorcycles and cars.
Who owns the road?
Well, nobody “owns” the road, and we need to show each other some respect. And that’s the rub! For whatever reason, we just don’t seem to like each other.
Before I owned a motorcycle, I must admit, motorcycles intimidated me. If I saw them approaching me from behind, I got the HELL out of the way. It was almost like an “uh oh, here they come” moment.
Not all motorists like or respect motorcycles. A lot of them just flat out hate them and will do whatever it takes to make their life miserable. Hence the ongoing battle between the two, and the conflict can result in tragedy.
