Motorcycle Speed on Curved Road Can Result In Accident or Serious Injury

I rode my motorcycle over 300 miles yesterday.  Some was interstate to Chattanooga and from there back roads all the way.  went along the occowee and into the Cherokee national Forrest.  Im riding the curvy roadway pretty well and along come two rocket bikes (crouch rockets) and pass me on both sides like I'm sitting still.  Don't get me wrong these guys are talented riders but the speed advisory signs called for a much slower speed than then were traveling.  A "speed advisory" sign is separate and distinct from a "speed limit" sign. (see the link for detailed explanation).  Anyway as I was riding along pondering the safety of speeding through the curves in this manner I couldn't help but notice the caution signage to watch for "vehicles crossing the center lane in curves".  I also noticed a number of memorial crosses nailed to trees in many of these curves.  Something to think about when riding this type of road.  I just think you can ride your motorcycle safely and reduce the likelihood of a wreck and serious injury simply by treating advisory signs as simple advise.  Ride safe.  Loco Logan
