For All Bikers (An Open Letter)

Here’s what started me on this letter:

********************************
Now…onto tthe open letter:

This goes out to all bikers, it doesnâ€™t matter what you ride. Safety should be your first priority. There is a big difference between what the bike can do and what you can do. Itâ€™s bad enough that we have little to rotect us from the elements. Itâ€™s bad enough that the roads are tore up, making it difficult (and dangerous) to ride on. Itâ€™s bad enough that we are hard to see. With all these things that we bikers have to watch out for, why take chances?

How stupid can you be, to travel over 90mph on a city street, or anywhere else for that matter? Isnâ€™t your life worth more than that one stupid moment of
recklessness? So what, your bike can pop a wheelie at 80mph, or make a 90 degree turn at high speed, that doesnâ€™t mean you can control it. What good is it if youâ€™re dead? Who can you brag to then? What about the family you killed, putting that bike through the car. Every year we lose bikers. Itâ€™s sad enough to lose
one in a legitimate accident, itâ€™s even worse when we lose a brother or sister because they were just being stupid. If you truly love to ride, then be careful, make it home, and ride again tomorrow.

Site ‘hacked’ recently…..

The site was "hacked" <yawn>. At least that’s what the replaced index page said.

It was my fault, I’ll admit that I hadn’t done all the necessary security updates to my blog. It’s summer…I’ve been riding the Harley, etc. and frankly hadn’t gotten around to it.

So…how bad was this site hacked you ask? Did I loose data? Was the site corrupted?

Uh…no.

The little PUNK script kiddie changed my main index page.

I was soooooooooooooo devastated <yawn> I just changed the one index page back. It wasn’t even a webpage I designed! I just had to replace the blog’s index <sigh>.

I mean dude! You didn’t even change any other index pages for any of the other sections (i.e. themes, gallery, calendar, etc.), so HOW COULD YOU SAY IT WAS HACKED!!!!

<shaking head>
