Motorcycle Week

What a great week weather wise, especially compared to the past few years. We were up last weekend and will be back either tonight or tomorrow.
It's always sad to hear about the motorcycle accidents that happen all around the state during motorcycle week. I have to say though, I wish the bikers didn't insist on claiming the center line of the road as so many do. Seems like doing so throws caution to the wind as cars going in the opposite direction are forced to move further in their own lane to maintain some margin of safety with the oncoming traffic. Though they may have the right to ride as close to the center line as they can, it just doesn't make sense to me to insist on being dead right.
Be careful out there this weekend. Ride safe. Enjoy.
