What excuse do you have left?

You're still driving your car, SUV, or truck? If you're reading this blog, I know you either have a bike or have been thinking about buying one. If you're not riding at $4.00 per gallon, sell or give your bike to someone who will use it! Quit making excuses.

"people drive crazy sound here" - you have more maneuverability on a bike or scooter and take up less room. You have a better chance of avoiding a collision if you're properly trained and keep alert.

"What if it rains" - seriously? If you're going somewhere important like a job interview, you can take gear to protect you. Otherwise you can show up at Wal-Mart wet. I guarantee there are worse looking people there. If you're headed home just get on dry clothes when you arrive.

If you need to pick up lumber at Lowe's or two cartfulls of groceries I get the car. If you're soccer parent duty, you can't get them all on your Harley. I get that. But if you have the bike and it lives in the garage 90% of the time, it's better for you and the bike if you just send it on its way.
