Motorcycle Fatalities on the Rise

2229688259_db30250935_m1.jpgOne of the things I enjoy doing after a 10 hour day, is to have a beer and read the paper.  So Tuesday night I stopped by one of my favorite establishments to do just that.  While reading USA Today, and sipping on a tall Killian’s, I caught a small newsflash from South Carolina’s AAA.   

The article stated motorcycle deaths are up 40% in South Carolina in the past 5 years, and this trend is expected to increase as more people are purchasing bikes as a way to escape rising fuel prices.  Agency head, David Parsons said there were 87 motorcycle related fatalities in 2003, and 122 deaths in 2007.  He went on to say that although motorcycles make up only 4% of registered vehicles in his state, they involve 11% of the traffic fatalities.

5 Things I like To Do On My Porch

16539017_f0397633a3_m.jpgAfter work I love to grill out, and while waiting for the food to cook, I park my rear on the patio.  Here’s five things I love to do while sitting on my patio… 

1.  Drink a “Killian’s“, OK, 2!

2.  Read “Rider” magazine.

3.  Smoke a “Punch” cigar.  Heck, any cigar!

4. Talk with my wife and sons.

5. Play with the mutt.

What do you like to do when you get home from work?
