For the sake of the responsible motorcyclists in DFW I hope they have the right man and that this will set atleast some of the public at ease. in the weeks since this story first broke i've received all sorts of negative criticism simply for riding a sport bike. I was even told i wasn't allowed to park in a parking space near the door of a restaurant I had planned to eat at one night.

I'd also like to take the chance to invite out anyone who would like to meet some responsible sport bike riders. LuckyLibby and the outspoken naysayers specifically. Libby did back track and admit she doesnt hate all bikers, but I think many of you need a reminder that we're people just like you and more often than not, we're the near victims of numerous accidents due to drivers of 4 wheeled vehicles not paying attention.

Infact, this past Thursday, I was riding my bike to meet friends for dinner and a taxi almost caused a 4 car pile up while entering a toll booth and then between Beltline and 635 nearly caused 3 other accidents with both cars and myself on my bike by irradically changing lanes and failing to signal or look before changing lanes. Remember folks, the guys on 2 wheels aren't always the bad guys.

I hear ya Damien, I have several relatives that have bikes and its true how some people in vehicles dont pay attention to the bikers on the road. Theres good and bad in everything...bikers,truck drivers,bicyclists and even joggers sometimes.
Glad they got the shooter though.

Being a reporter for what I would consider main stream media... I can't speak for all of them but, I believe this story was factual, accurate, and responsibly reported. All the while walking through the minefields of Biker VS Driver... and the really neat thing is... in the end it took both sides to see the case come together.

Cowboys wife makes a good point there is good and bad in everything in life, we just have to embolden ourselfs to look past the bad (negative) long enough to see to the truth.
if u can handle that.
