Front page news

congrats! that's pretty cool, especially since you're showing how it should be done...ATGATT.

Way cool, is there a link to the rest of the article?

Thats awesome! I'm originally from Salem but all of my family now lives in Corvallis. Unfortunately the Air Force sent me to NJ I want to move back sooo badly!

Lots better than making the news as a casualty.
Did you know they were coming to take the pic that day?

Nope. The reporter contacted the group in the morning and asked for some interviews. I'm pretty sure I got the pic because I was the only one who rode to work in the rain that day. ;D The photographer and reporter caught me after I came back to work after lunch.

John Updike died?

Congrats for being on the front page. ATGATT FTW!!!!!

tk

that's a great pic...congratulations...and the article was interesting.

very cool

good times

Good representation for two-wheeled transportation. Thanks for being willing to participate in such an article.

Congrats, I wish many followed suit and drove safe without being speed demons.

I hate when people take everyone for granted and when you mention you drive a motorcycle they link you to usual stereotypes.

Anyway, no matter what people say or think, I also plan to use my SV for regular commuting and will be a safe law abiding citizen!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those "safety nazis" who has to let everyone within earshot know the "right" way to ride. However, I do reserve the right to think less of you if you exhibit hoon behavior.

Biker stereotypes is one of the reasons why WITW has a safe mileage award in the first place. We want to show folks that yes, you can ride a motorcycle safely. How often do we see headlines that begin with "Motorcyclist dies..." How come they never print "Driver kills motorcyclist"?
