[ST] A Brotherhood



Apart from our ethnic, religious, political, opinionated etc. backgrounds we all have one thing in common that brings us together as a brotherhood: 
Our love of motorcycles!

As such, I found myself compelled to stop my air conditioned cage and help a fellow brother whom I saw felled his steed in sand and gravel.  He was ok.  Just cuts and abrasions on his right side (hand, arm, leg).  No he wasn't wearing a helmet or proper riding gear.  If he had, only the bike would have been hurt.
But this isn't to judge.  Like I said in opening:  all things aside we are a brotherhood.

It seemd to be a low speed (5-10 MPH) off, but even at that speed he got cut up pretty good.  Nothing appeared deep though.  Really made me see the need to cover up with boots, gloves, long pants, long sleeves, and most important a HELMET (even though he head was untouched).

On a 90+ summer day I know it is real easy to justify not covering up because of the heat.  I know I've done that before  But now I see I'd rather die of heat than bleed all over.

So from one brother to another, lets all ride smart with the proper safety gear because the unexpected can always happen.  Even to the best rider.  I don't want to have to stop to help another brother bleeding everywhere because he/she wasn't wearing the proper safety gear.

RIDE SAFE & SMART EVERYONE SUMMER IS HERE TO ENJOY :-)
