Unskilled Riders-Important words from Motorman

These are words from Jerry Motorman Palladino out of his book.
Withe the Cruiser riders, it seems the guy with the ost chrome and the fanciest paint job gets the most respect. I have given a lot of thought as to why so many Cruiser riders are lacking the even basice skills.
Oe of th ereasons has to be the re-entry ridier. That's the person whose had a motorcycle twenty five or thirty years ago and probably had ridden it less than ten thousand miles and managed to avoid getting killed. Thus, these people believe they know how to ride and thereore, they don't need to take any training courses or sharpen their skills. Consequently, the biggest increase in motorcycle fatalities the past few yers has been riders on cruisers between the ages of 40 to 55. Un fortunately, too many of these ridiers believe the ride just fine simply because they're able to get on their bike and cruise straight on down the road and make a great big wide urn every onece in a while. This philosophy works just fine until s omething gets in their way. With no knowledgeof how to stop the bike quickly or swerve aroudn the left turn vehicle the untraide rider crashes. It's that simple.
