What is going on with all the motorcycle wrecks in the Atlanta area lately? Most all of them fatal. There has to be 6 or 8 people killed just in the last few weeks.

It's called people not paying attention to what's going on around them or just being plain stupid  |

Late in the season riders are all jazzed up thinking they are invincible because they survived this long without any trouble. That's when complacency sets in.

I've been having problems with idiot drivers trying to cut me off because its a scooter. Also people pulling out in front of me. But then there's the people on bike showing out. It could be any or combination of all.

It's Ramblin' Wreck football season! Seriously, part of it is that students are back to commuting now. I'm not dis'in them. They just have less experience driving and we have to watch for them.
The Ramblin' Wreck better be ready for for Va Tech tonight.

I don't have any links. They were reported on the TV and the newspaper.
