    Never Sacrifice Training

    Since the accident, I’ve had a bone graft to repair my upper jaw, dental implants and several scar revision surgeries to smooth out my chin. I still have very little feeling in my lip, as well as two distinct scars between my lower lip and...

    Check Your Ego

    Almost as if in slow motion, I watched him twist the throttle and try to do an endo (make his bike stand on the front wheel). The rear wheel lifted off the pavement, but then he lost control. He made a valiant effort to jump off the bike before...

    Have a Contingency Plan

    Unless you’ve experienced spatial disorientation while flying an aircraft, it’s difficult to truly understand the feeling. Fortunately, I’m still here to talk about the night it happened to me.

    Check Your Ego

    Almost as if in slow motion, I watched him twist the throttle and try to do an endo (make his bike stand on the front wheel). The rear wheel lifted off the pavement, but then he lost control. He made a valiant effort to jump off the bike before it flipped over, but didn’t quite make it. He landed on the ground, remaining motionless for a few seconds as if trying to comprehend what had just happened.

    Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes

    I yelled for Kirk to return while waving the dim flashlight in a vain attempt at warning oncoming drivers to slow down. Kirk decided against going across the road since the good Samaritan was already checking on the driver. Instead, Kirk began using the flashlight on his phone to also warn approaching vehicles to slow down.

    Safety Over Comfort

    Safety Over Comfort

    About halfway down the mountain, there was hardly any traffic. I was coasting at the 35-mph speed limit when I came around a corner and saw a pickup truck stopped in the middle of the highway. What could I do? Brake? Run into the back of the truck? Drive into oncoming traffic?

    Search, Evaluate, Execute

    Riding Time vs. Experience

    Riding Time vs. Experience

    I began riding motorcycles at the age of 12. That was 28 years and 15 motorcycles ago. I have always considered myself an experienced and safe rider because of the time I’ve invested in motorcycles. That remained my attitude until my last Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) training course, where I learned I wasn’t as skilled as I previously thought.
