So I just got off the phone with the Legislators Office....

I called Dave Mejias' office in regards to strengthening requirements before operating a Motorcycle/Ninja Bike and tightening up penalties for riders who feel the need to drive wrecklessly in honor of my cousin Lisa. As you know, she was buried the day of my wedding after being killed needlessly in a Ninja Bike accident. When I was at the wake, I found out that she had text messaged one of her friends about how scared she was because her BF was driving like a jerk and she couldn't wait to get back to her car (it was her first time on a bike)....needless to say, she was killed moments later as the driver hit a car while he (her BF) was driving at speeds in excess of 100mph.

Now, just the other day i was on my way to work on Northern State and was cut off my 3 people on ninja bikes.....about 15 mins later, i was in bumper to bumper traffic and 4 more ninja bikes were cutting between lanes and cars to bypass the traffic while everyone else just sat around because hey....traffic is traffic.....

Anyway, I made my decision after seeing these idiots swerving in and out and between cars, that I was going to try my best to get something rolling to make it harder for people to get away with this. With the summer quickly approaching, I hope that any of you who own a bike, or if your FH owns a bike, that you take extra caution when you are out on the road. As much as you see these articles in the paper every single day over the warm weather months, there are even more that aren't put into the paper.

I got the ball rolling this morning thanks to someone named Brendan in the Legislator's office, so hopefully something good can come of this.
