It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is. There’s always someone flying by our house on a motorcycle. That’s because we live right at the base of the mountains, and our road is considered a short cut to two of the curviest mountain roads in South Carolina.

You know I seriously don’t mind seeing bikes coming through here all the time. I like to sit out on my porch swing in the summer watching the various bikes come by, but today just really pissed me off.

I was outside taking the dog out, and I heard 2 bikes coming from a good bit away. I could tell they were flying pretty fast, and as I listened to them approach I moved into the front yard to see them. They came flying through here, neither of them wearing a helmet.

1. If you’re going to ride, especially fast, wear your damn helmet!

2. When riding through a residential community don’t freakin’ fly!

I had just watched a car back out into the road next door, and they barely made it out of the way before the bikes came flying through. Where we live you can’t see very far when you back out, and if those guys had came flying through here any sooner they would have creamed the woman backing out. They wouldn’t have had time to stop, and who would have been the ones getting hurt? The guys without the helmets of course!

Look at it this way. If you’re in a really bad wreck without a helmet you’re going to come out of it 2 ways. Dead, or if you’re lucky enough to make it out alive you’ll probably spend the rest of your life drooling while sitting around in adult pads.
