Motorcycle riding people take for granted over taking vehicle while they are on the road. Over taking on curves is a big no-no, even if one is availing the services of a Seattle personal injury lawyer.

They weave in and out of traffic with inches away from other vehicles on the road because they think they can do so due to their small size.

Besides, I doubt the law will take pity on people if they have been the one doing the wrong move in terms of road mishaps and accidents.

Yes, some people, especially motorcycle riding people can be reckless or careless or pompous. Or all of the above. No offense meant to those who ride these two-wheeled engines but as with all kinds of motor vehicles, caution is always the best way to approach driving.

Exotic. Fast. Expensive. Rare. Collectibles.

These are just some of the words that best describe cars that are made in a limited number and can be rarely seen on the streets. One such car is the Ferrari, among others.

Moneyed people buy these mean machines. Racing enthusiasts do too as well as those who have the eye, the taste and the deep pockets for the prancing horse.

One would worry though where Ferrari parts can be bought especially to those living far from where the cars are being manufactured. All these are taken cared of, I guess, when one buys a model.

One of the things that make street racing cars (legal or otherwise) better than stock cars is the fact that these use performance parts that will enhance the car’s performance. Of course, these cars are not like the Formula One racing cars that require minutiae details not just in its design but in its engineering process.

I still vividly remember those drag races we use to go to when that mall beside Manila Bay was still being built. Adrenalin pumping to say the least. Just to hear the cars rev is enough to make one look on and watch.

For now, these street racers like that participants in Bullrun with which we await the second season should be thankful that these kinds of technologies are available to them.

For those who race in the middle of the night along a major road near where we live, I hope you know what you are doing.

On to the races, fellas! 😉

I have blogged about motorcycles in different circumstances:

• This post had a photo about a family riding in one small motorcycle that spell disaster if ever a mistake is made.

• What about the Ducati motorcycle of Yellow Cab Pizza post?

• Some of the Batangas Racing Circuit photos that I posted? Yes, there were some superbikes there.

Motorcycles are here to stay, that s for sure. Nothing wrong there except some of the things that the riders do that get them in trouble. They ride fast. They don’t wear their helmets on their head but rather wear these on their arms/elbows (duh?). They ride with 2 other riders. They drive even if they are intoxicated,which is the leading cause of accidents in the country. They ride without safety gears.

So it is any surprise that in Asia, in the Philippines, motorcycle accidents happen day in and day out?
