----"Here in my small area of DFW, there have been 8 major MC accidents in the last 4 months. That is WAY up from previous year. Three have either happened in front of me, or I drove up just as the dust settled."----

I forgot to mention the 8 Major accidents (meaning a helicopter was needed) happened in an area 4 miles long on a single state highway, and the "older 2 lane version" of same highway that parallels it 1/4 mile away.

Does not include Minor (no air ambulance) or two overnight hit and runs that were not found until daylight.

Pass on to those considering taking up two wheels for the first time: Please learn to ride safely for the conditions around you, and obtain the proper attitude and safety equipment BEFORE riding in traffic. Motorcycle Safety Foundation and Harley Davidson provide several courses, that I promise will help equip to survive the roads.
