Get Off Your Cell Phone While Driving

One of my pet peeves is drivers texting and talking on their cell phones while driving. I’ve ridden with friends or family whose been in near accidents because they absolutely must answer their phone or because they’re on their phone and not concentrating on operating their large moving death trap.

Is it really that hard to pick up a hands free device or just wait until you get to your destination? So to all my friends, family and visitors–get off your damn cell phones while driving! Why? Because this could be you.

Motorcycle Bird Collision

So a few years back I used to ride a Yamaha FZR-600R, which was a great first bike. Anyway, I was just thinking back today about how great riding it was and remembered that I used to attach a camera to the bike and record while I rode.

Well, one day I was riding out on one of my favorite roads (Dashpoint in Federal Way, WA) and hit a bird. The crazy thing is that the bird got stuck right in front of the camera! Anyway, a long time ago I put it on YouTube and thought I would share it here as well.

Before you watch the video, you should know the bird was obviously killed and although it isn’t hard for me to watch, it may be hard for you to watch if you don’t have the stomach for a little bird guts.

If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe.

Now if only I had been recording when I was in my motorcycle accident. That would have been one heck of a video! Anyway, just sharing a little piece of me back in the day! :-)
