I am not a scaremonger - I really am not. But it seems the incidents of
motorcycle accidents are becoming far too common.
Two years ago a friend and fellow chimney sweep lost his leg in a car/bike collision. Now, I just received the news another sweep, a friend, was killed when he lost control of his Harley. So sad. This was the third mortorcycle fatality in a week for the Minn/St Paul area.
"Michael McFarland, 48, was on the HOV ramp from Minnesota 100 north to Interstate 394 east, when his Harley Davison hit a wall about noon on Friday, the Minnesota State Patrol said. McFarland flipped over the wall, but the bike continued down the ramp."
Here is the news video.

If you ride - please be careful. Minimize your risks as much as you can.
