It's the prime time to be on a motorcycle at this point in the year, and I've sure been riding often. Being on the bike is blissful, even if it's just for my work commute. 

Honestly, I might even prefer riding the old Nighthawk around in the dark, as I often do on my way to and from the station. Both the motorcycle and I stay cooler, for starters. It can get pretty hot sitting at a stoplight with the sun beating down on a black bike in ninety-degree heat. 

The biggest advantage of riding between dusk and dawn, though, is the lack of traffic. Although I'm debatably more difficult to see at night, I feel safer as one of the only vehicles on the roadways. Fewer cars should equate to a lesser chance for collision, with drivers distracted and otherwise. That's my theory, at least. 

Yet again, I'd like to casually remind you to please look out for motorcycles, day and night. It's something that means a lot to me, as a rider and as someone with friends and family who ride. Thank you, and thanks for listening to WQMX! 

Since 1994, Motorcycle Riders from Northeast Ohio have been participating in The Caravan Kid's Teddy Bear Ride to bring toys and smiles to kids at Akron Children's Hospital.

This years ride started in Dover at Adventure Harley-Davidson and the cost to participate was simply a New Toy to donate to kids at ACH.  

Last years ride brought in approximately 80,000 donations and this years goal is 250,000 Toys and cash donations are always welcome.
