Very Nice, Indeed!!!

Any Idea who paid to put that up??? I'd like to send them a letter of thanks!!! I didn't (and will probably never) go to bike week... but that billboard message is something that we all should appreciate. Let it be known...

DAYTONA BEACH -- With more than half a million motorcycles roaring into town later this week, it will be hard to miss Bike Week. But individual motorcycles and their riders may be another story.

A Volusia task force, formed after last year's event saw a record number of biker deaths, says too many drivers don't see the motorcycles coming until it's too late. Of the 21 motorcycle riders who died during last year's Bike Week, nine were in accidents caused by a car or truck driver.


Five motorcyclists were killed when vehicles turned left in front of them; three bikers were rear-ended; and one died when a van crossed the center line and struck him head-on, the records show.

That's why the Bike Week Safety Task Force is trying to send a message to everyone who will be on the roads during this year's Bike Week: "Look twice. Save a life."

Looks like someone is trying hard to make everyone aware.

The billboard is kind of ironic. It shows the bike in the mirror and everyone always blames the "blind spot". There is no such thing as a blind spot....it just means they didn't look.
