Thought the same myself. What are the stats like, is this number a common occurrence? Or is this season worse than others in the past? Ride safe everyone.

I woke up around 1am hearing several sportbikes going up the 427. I could tell by the tone of the loud exhausts that they were pinned. I was thinking, "damn, those guys are going fast. Must be running away from the cops." (half asleep)
A long warm summer has put lots of bikes out on the roads, and longer hours per day with warm nights.
However I truly believe that most o these could be avoided.
I find almost every close call I've ever had was my fault to some extent. Going to fast, messing around or just not paying attention.
Think everyone need a reality check once in a while to put us back in our place and realize that yea it can happen to you too.
It's been a sad summer for riders.
Yep.. saw a bunch of idiots on sportbikes racing down the QEW towards mississauga last night around 10pm way above the speed limits. To those of you morons who were part of that, grow the hell up, you make all of us riders look bad, no wonder cagers hate bikers.
Cops came and pretty much told everyone to leave l&l last night. So think about how many bikes were leaving around the same time. Big groups heading down 427...
1- slow down
2- dont drink/smoke/impair yourself and ride
3- LOOK
4- do circle check (seen LOTS of bikes this year with no headlight)
5- dont ride tired
This passed week has also had two people in the news who tweeted YOLO (You Only Live Once) before crashing and killing themselves. Its true, you do only live once, so be smart about what you do so that you can get the most out of every bit of life you have left.
over the years the forum has become much larger, as a result we have the accidents section, as well as people posting every damn accident in there. it seems liek there are so many more accidents than other years largely because of the increased exposure to each accident.
