    wow, you are a much braver man than I am.. either that or incredibly good on two wheels. No way in hell I’d even consider riding in snow or ice on a heavy road bike. Small dual sport maybe, but nothing like your rig. Hats off to you!
    I ride/race dirt bikes (desert racing) and have some good big bike training and skills...

    As you know it has nothing to do with your skills, it is a combination of the laws of physics and the fact that all it takes is a little fender bender. Went to a close friends funeral 2 months ago. Quit bikes myself in 1977. Found out about the laws of physics.

    Stay well and careful. Very careful. The laws of physics don't change though.

    Only time I've been off the bike on the road was back in December when we had a good snow. I rode into work anyway, just to do it. I had a walking pace drop when I hit a slick spot turning onto a side road. Just made me laugh.

    I've worked my share of moto crashes...ProTip: If you dont want to go into Federal custody when released from the hospital, dont crash with drugs and stolen guns...

    I'm riding from S ATX to Killeen early tomorrow, for a funeral escort for a on-duty death. Leaving about 0430h and looking forward to some clear roads.

    Shocked you did not get dragged in front of an accident review board.
    One of our biologists in the BCP ( also Type II wildfire trained) cracked a tail light on a fence post on a Polaris during a prescribed fire. Someone reported it and I kid you not, got dragged into an ARH, got found at fault, and had points assessed against him.

    This was/is my personal bike I rode that day.

    Before we got disbanded/reimagined my CoC were all certified motors so they understood bikes, especially working bikes will fall over on a stop or get dropped in training and get damaged. They never tried to "stick" us for anything we didn't deserve and as a result no one felt the need to not report damage. Doing cone courses you WILL drop your bike, especially in motors school... in 10-days of school I had only 2 days I didn't drop it at all. The other 8 days it got dropped a LOT!

    I truly am sorry about your friend.

    I may go fast at times, but I never get in a hurry. I am as serious on the bike as a pilot is in the plane. I minimize my "no options" time, I always know where my outs/options are, and never try to "extend the glide slope" physics is what it is so don't try to cheat it.

    A Rookie Police Officer Pulled A Biker Over For Speeding.​

    renderTimingPixel.png

    A rookie police officer pulled a biker over for speeding and had the following exchange:
    Officer: May I see your driver's license?
    Biker: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.
    Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?
    Biker: It's not my bike. I stole it.
    Officer: The motorcycle is stolen?
    Biker: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the tool bag when I was putting my gun in there.
    Officer: There's a gun in the tool bag?
    Biker: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the dude who owns this bike and stuffed his dope in the saddle bags.
    Officer: There's drugs in the saddle bags too?!?!?
    Biker: Yes, sir. Hearing this, the rookie immediately called his captain. The biker was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the biker to handle the tense situation:
    Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
    Biker: Sure. Here it is. It was valid.
    Captain: Who's motorcycle is this?
    Biker: It's mine, officer. Here's the registration.
    Captain: Could you slowly open your tool bag so I can see if there's a gun in it?
    Biker: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. Sure enough, there was nothing in the tool bag.
    Captain: Would you mind opening your saddle bags? I was told you said there's drugs in them.
    Biker: No problem. The saddle bags were opened; no drugs.
    Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole this motorcycle, had a gun in the tool bag, and that there were drugs in the saddle bags.
    Biker: Yeah, I'll bet he told you I was speeding, too.

    Another quick story about the COA Accident Review Board.
    Parking Enforcement Officer I Knew was on boot duty. She responded to a call to boot a vehicle and had her zone set up, traffic flagger in place, flashers and light bar on when someone with their head up their ass drifted into the zone and hit the COA boot vehicle.
    ARB found PEO at fault, even though APD cited the driver that hit the City vehicle.

    Her attitude was “ok, that is the last vehicle that ever gets booted” the same sentiment was echoed throughout the department.

    Department director advised her to appeal and it was made known that if the “at fault” stood it could seriously hit the COA in the wallet as the department would no longer be willing to enforce the muni court orders on delinquent parking fines due to employee safety.

    She is the only person I knew of that had an “At Fault” reversed.
