This is a very interesting time of the year. First this AAA study comes out disproving the myth that the imposed hands-free law should make driving safer. NHTSA reciprocates with the report of their own. The report shows that excessive speed is responsible for only 5% of the crashes.
While a lot of people would try […]
So I finally got a chance to ride my new track toy, Ducati 749R. The bike is phenomenal. I am not. Let’s start with the list of excuses:
