I have a Goldwing and I like to take road trips of 2000 to 6000 miles. I've ridden about 250,000 miles and was in my first accident last fall... an SUV didn't see me and pulled out in front of me. If I wouldn't have gotten on the brakes hard... I'm sure I would have been hit in the side. The Goldwing was totaled so I have gotten another one. I had some road rash and 3 fractured ribs... I was wearing helmet, gloves, leather jacket. Maybe if I had a jacket with armor my ribs would have not been injured!
I rode by myself last month from WI to Key West putting on 4600 miles and riding in 16 different States. My DW and I are leaving later this week for a ride to Page, AZ and then to Death Valley.
I just love to ride... but I very seldom ride just locally... I walk a lot.
