OT – Scooters zipping off lots

[jpinpb]

I heard about a bicyclist in PB that got hit by a SUV and suffered head injuries.

The news featured a story of some skateboarder kid that got hit by a car. Survived. They were interviewing him in his hospital bed.

I even hear about people slipping in their shower and hitting their head and dying.

Someone was standing at a red light and a guy driving, spilt coffee on his lap, lost control of his car and went over the curb and took the guy at the corner out.

When it’s your time, you’re gonna go.

It wasn’t your time on the freeway that day.

Now, I’m not going to live in fear about scooters being unsafe. Otherwise, I’d never ride a bike or a skateboard or take a shower. Can’t live in a bubble – unless, that is, you’re real estate 😉

I think the key to survival on 2 wheels is to get as safe as you can and be seen. First, take the course, then do everything else you can. I ride a VStar 1100 (Harley clone) with driving lights, flashing brake lights, crash bars, I wear boots, full helmet and a jacket with spine protection. I never got into the orange vest though.

I only get about 45mpg so I’ve had this in mind since I first saw it at the SD Auto show: http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2006/11/20/piaggio-mp3-400-3-wheel-scooter/

Not sure how much safer it is with the 3 wheels, but I think dual front brakes and more rubber on the road must mean something. Also, it stands up on its own (might be a bad habit though).
