Motorcycle Safety – Captain Crash – Listening to the Voices in Your Head

So, why am I posting a video made by a guy who goes by the screen name “Captain Crash” that deals with motorcycle safety?  Because the guy has some pretty good info and delivers with some great humor

This video goes for cars just as much as motorcycles   When it comes down to it, I think there’s one big thing that affects safe riding more than just about anything else.  It’s judgement.  Sure, there’s quite a bit of Red Rock Canyon I could run at 70 MPH while having serious fun, but it just ain’t worth it.  Leaning way over in a corner is great, but what if there’s something bad in the roadway?  You know – Something like sand, diesel, or a burro   If you’re in a car and you have to brake in a turn, you can usually do it without too much drama.  On a bike, you can’t brake too hard in a corner or you have a high probability of  crashing.  You can straighten up and hit the brakes, but how far can you go before you’re off the road?  Remember – what might be a fender bender and minor insurance claim in a car is probably a broken bone and possibly surgery on a bike!

I think my favorite line from the French voice was, “You’re the fallen souffle of manliness!!!” and that had me just about in tears I was laughing so hard Big thanks go out to Captain Crash for a great video

Have fun and stay safe out there on the roads everyone   And please remember to watch for motorcycles while you’re at it
