MAY - Motorcycle Awareness Month

For those of you who didn’t know, May is Motorcycle awareness month.
So if you have a car (Cage) tie an Orange Ribbon to your vehicle to signify
that you're aware and remember to always look twice before turning or
changing lanes.

On a similar note check out http://www.bikerfriend.org and get a few stickers
to share with family, friends and co-workers. I received mine just the other
day. Here is their biker creed from their web site –

Five easy steps to show you're "Biker Friendly"

1. Slap a sticker on your cage.

2. Keep an eye out for motorcyclists who are out enjoying the great roads. Even though you're probably wishing you could join them instead of sitting behind the wheel of that four wheeled monstrosity.

3. When in stop and go traffic or when stopped at a light, leave a little extra room. Riders who see the "Biker Friendly" sticker will be able to quickly identify that there is a fellow biker ahead.

4. If possible, lend a hand. If you see a fellow biker in trouble, pull over and offer your assistance. I understand that with our busy schedules, we don't always have the time to stop and help. But if you have a few minutes, sometimes that is all the time a stranded rider needs.

5. Most importantly, you must agree to extend this option to all those that ride. You must not show prejudice against those who may not meet your idea of the way a biker should be. You must promise to follow these steps even though some bikers will ride fast, slow, or while wearing inadequate gear. After all, most of us are not angels, and I'm sure we all have done something at least once in our lifetime that someone else may consider to be irresponsible or even stupid.

Enjoy and Be Safe !!!
