Trend my ass.

Quote: "Gardea was the fifth motorcyclist killed in El Paso this year
compared with nine deaths in all of 2005, which was the deadliest year"

I see it as about the same as last year.

 

Irritates me, when folks jump on me, and say there surely is alotta
people killed =riding them thangs'=.
I always go back to the theory, of what is happening in my neck of the
woods.
There might be one rider killed a year, around this 100 sq mile area,
according to what we read in the paper, and hear on channel 3. Oh yeah,
more like getting hurt or cilled riding ATVs, around here. unhuh.
~~Plus, one can go by what they hear in there particular Motorcylce
communtity. Like what one hears when hangin' around the different Bike
Stores, know what I' sayin.

'Ya'll take care'' --BJAY--

 

El Paso is upset because it has changed from the occasional Harley being run
over after bar closing time or the guy in the desert on his YZ 400 breaking
his neck to 18 to 24 year olds killing themselves at outrageous speeds in
single vehicle accidents.
Last year a guy on a Honda RC51 decapitated himself while getting on the
freeway too hot at Yarbrough - I have never been able to figure out what
took his head off?!? - the wind?

 

Because, at night the speed would drop to 0 mph.
Damn, I hate that night time speed limit. As if crashing at 65 is any better
than the normal speed limit.

 

They should have been wearing helmets!
