It's time to pull the covers off your ride and fire em up! Whether you've got four wheels or two, make sure no critters have crawled inside and nested the winter in the: air-cleaner / exhaust / heat-blower etc. Take your time and check the plugs, fuel ( If you had fuel in the tank, lets hope you also put a stabilizer in before shutting her down for the season.) Check the brakes, brake fluid level etc.
There are sooooo many rides scheduled this year. Be safe!
Our friends at the NORWICH BULLETIN website have a motorcycle feature page! Likewise weekly at the Waterbury Republican-American.
I've gotten inquires about cruises too. The best ones are right around the corner. With higher fuel prices this driving season, you'll get your best bang for the buck by checking out the cruises/shows nearest where you live.

Be Safe!

So many young lives have been lost on our roads. Why?

That is a question State Lawmakers are trying to answer. Is it an issue of training? Experience? I am sure the Insurance Companies in the Insurance Capital of the world can find the answer quickly in their super computers. How many police reports are housed in these computers?

Times have changed. Instant communication technology (ie: cell phones, text messaging, GPS) are all grab and drive tools at our fingertips. It's not just eating a dashboard lunch anymore while you attempt to manuever our busy roadways.

Maybe lawmakers are honing in on a possible solution that could help reduce the number of our children who are killed each year.

It amazes me each Spring when School Districts and Communities go through the pains to host the moc DUI crashes, just to impress prom goers about the dangers of drinking and driving and taking risks. They learn later the "reality" of life when they attend the "real" funeral of a classmate.
