This is when we should stress. "Look twice to save a life."
With gas so high there is gonna be alot more motorcycles on the road. My husband who is a very experience motorcyclist, wears a bright yellow coat with big reflective strips on it, and a white helment with reflective strips on that also and still he has had people pull out in front on him, or turned in front of him. We all need to start paying attention. Remember...."Look twice to save a life."

Faron was a close family friend. He was my Big Bro's Buddy as well as my Big Sis's. I remember my Bro and Sis talking about Faron and Paula. They all hung out and I was too little to be but a bother. Then I grew up. Faron always called me the "Little Hatmaker". Got to know him a little more last Fall, when he was dissing my Wings and Cowboys! What a riot it was to argue with him!! Especially about Sports. Wow! He was so proud to be a Biker. Never in a Million Years should this have happened. He knew how to drive. Personally, I think maybe the State should look at testing drivers over "70" monthly. We lost a Dear Friend because someone couldn't "SEE" him! It was eleven in the morning! Bikers can go through a class that teaches them the dangers of other drivers. Unfortunately, there is no class for the "non-bikers" that teaches us to look out for them.
