    US rider killed in the dealer's lot picking up new bike

    Unfortunatley a fatality, but this guy puts all other new bike tip overs to shame:

    Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity.

    Hey, I've ridden through Poughkeepsie. How many can say that? Oh, and wear your gear.

    I've been there too, (in a car though), had a temporary assignment at the really really large IBM facility there.

    Too bad about the guy though... He didn't even get a chance to learn a lesson about helmets. (hopefully others won't make the same mistake).
