Guys and Gals : Just a safe warning !!! Watch where your at and where the other idiots who drive are at , especially when out and about on your scoots ! Once again today I came within a foot of becoming a side ornament on an idiot's h3 suv and a teeneboppers sub compact car. Why?? Becuase they were not looking (when the teen turned and when the suv tried to change lanes) !! . We are abit smaller than a standard full sized bike ( 250 scoots and trikes still need to watch aswell) and harder to see . You must be on the defensive at all times when your riding and make sure your seen . Use that horn !! Yes , a few extra tweeters is ok aswell once you get their attention ! Just don't use the tweeter on a hells angel ok ! Why am I telling you this now ? Because I was hit in December by a driver who wasn't paying attention and almost got nailed twice again today !! I don't want you winding up in the ER because of some idiot driver who wasn't paying attention and not looking when they tried to turn or change lanes right in front of you !! Trust me on this , The ER is not a fun place to be once you have been hit . Especially if your not wearing your d@#$ helmet !!Please heed my warning now or it may be too late when it happens to you !! Will C. p.s. If your scootin and don't have a helmet on, make D@$% sure your organ donor card ( id) is up to date ! p.s.s. I had my rideing jacket and helmet on when I got hit. It saved me from a very serious injury to my head and body. Yea I got a totaled scooter and a baddly brused up set of knees. Better that , than loosing your life becase you didn't have your helmet on when you got nailed !
