    11/09/16, Wednesday: RIDERS OK - crashed but need bike(s) + riders picked up

    Again, riders are OK. They crashed on Highway 9, west of Saratoga but east of Highway 35. They need someone to pick them up + their bikes. There are two bikes, a 600F4i and an SV650 (?), not sure about second bike, but it is a SV650ish model. Can't confirm if both bikes need to be picked up...

    Female Drone Racer, former motorcyclist

    Figured this would be appropriate under Kitchen Sink. The entire video is pretty cool, but motorcycling is primarily discussed from 4:59 to 5:00. Very poignant, the reason she quit motorcycling had nothing to do with motorcycling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvsX3k5-U2I Ride safe.

    SUV going over double yellow, be careful out there...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZCVueJFJ5Q I mentioned in the Alice's ride today about taping this incident during my morning commute. Thank god there was no one coming from the other side, could have easily caused a fatality. Ride safe everyone.
