I dare say you are the one in need of a life insurance policy. Throw in an order of Enzyte while you're at it.

WHEREAS, Alaska has more registered motorcycles per capita than any other state, yet motorcycles are still the minority users of the Alaska road system; and
WHEREAS, in 80-90 percent of all accidents involving a motorcycle, it is the other motorist’s fault. Motorcyclists everywhere face a constant threat to personal safety caused by a lack of alertness of the driving public. It is imperative all motorists operate with caution near motorcyclists; and
WHEREAS, Alaska Bikers Advocating Training and Education (ABATE) is a nonprofit organization of motorcycle riders and non-riders dedicated to both education and preservation of freedom of the road. ABATE believes that with training we can all become more proficient motorists. Fewer risks for motorcyclists will be the result of well-educated drivers; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is a member of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) and uses its testing procedures to license Alaska’s motorcycle riders; and
WHEREAS, DMV recognizes ABATE’s MSF training and rider education curriculum. In 2002, ABATE was approved by the Alaska DMV to administer regular DMV motorcyclist endorsement testing. MSF training through ABATE will provide the rider with a motorcyclist endorsement without any further testing from the DMV upon the rider’s successful completion of the course;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Sarah Palin, Governor of the state of Alaska, do hereby proclaim May 2009 as:
Motorcycle Awareness Month
in Alaska, and encourage all Alaska motorists to make themselves more aware of what is going on around them, so our highways can be safer for all who use them.

As one of those riders, in Ohio, I greatly appreciate this one.
If you don’t limp, you ain’t been there.
I have seen the bike of my dreams. KLR650 D ~!!
I want IT.
I’m old too.
I must be crazy, but I’d love to ride again.
The diesel version? That would be sweet.
I rode a KLR for a few years as a commuter bike. Sometimes I’d ride the roads, sometimes I’d take the road alongside the train tracks.
Wish I could still ride, I trashed my ankle too many times though. Wah.
It’s hard not to be aware of a %$&#ing Harley rider when he wakes everyone up in the middle of the night. A small penis is not enhanced by a loud bike.
Ride it like ya stole it.
You guys sound like squids.
Too old to ride??
I’m 78 and still ride. I have an ‘01 Suzuki SV650. I’ve been riding since 1949.
Go buy that KLR650 D!!
Harleys are for tools, not motorcycle riders. They are like a driving an old fashioned farting sofa. They look and sound stupid.

You probably ought to run for mayor of Sturgis, SD. And may I sell you a life insurance policy if you decide to?
Damn, Gramps! That's awesome!
Only took 8 posts for the jerks to reveal themselves.

I’ve got an 07 XR 650. I love it but the KTM 950R superenduro is awesome.
Everyone should take a motorcycle safety course. I’d be riding around with a lot of bad habits if I hadn’t. The best tip I learned was that you should assume you’re invisible.
Ok, you’re an Irish squid. Either or, any person on any two wheeled vehicle should ride their bike carefully and defensively. I’ve lost many family friends because of irresponsible riding. Anything else would make you a squid.
If you like riding bikes, keep doing it as long as your hand and eye coordination are good.
