Last week I was researching upcoming biker events when I stumbled upon www.scridereport.com. For those of you who haven’t checked it out already, SC Ride Report is a website dedicated to biker news and biker events throughout South Carolina. I immediately emailed L.Z. Harrison, Jr., the administrator of the site, to let him know what a great website he has and to find out more about him and the website. L.Z. shared that he administers SC Ride Report for fun and because of his love for riding motorcycles. He encourages everyone in the biker community to check out the website and submit any news or upcoming events you would like to share. We also recommend you check out SC Ride Report’s Facebook Page.

Uricchio Law Firm would like to wish all of our loyal blog readers safe and happy holidays! We’d also like to share with you some tips on how to stay safe and avoid personal injury this holiday season:
1. Travel Safely: Whether you’re traveling by motorcycle or motor vehicle, be extra alert and focused. With more volume on the roads and in shopping centers, it can be quite overwhelming.
2. Don’t Leave the Tree Lights On: If you’re not home, your tree lights should not be on. For years, tree lights have been the culprit of many house fires during this time of year.
3. Take Proper Precautions During Icy Winter Storms: No car, not even a four-wheel-drive car, can stabilize on ice. Be sure to practice caution while driving or walking, and be on the lookout for black ice (which looks like a dark patch of pavement).
We hope you enjoyed our safety tips for this holiday season and we wish you a very merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Armed with Blackberries, iPhones and Garmins, today’s multi-tasking drivers rarely keep both eyes, or their undivided attention, on the road. Defensive driving can be the difference between a trip to the hospital and a close call. Techniques like counter steering, controlling skids, and clutch control can help you avoid potential accidents caused by others.
ABATE of South Carolina posted an excellent “Individual Motorcycle Safety Guide,” by motorcycle instructor Jim DeWitt, on their website which outlines some helpful accident avoidance techniques. Click here to view the article.
If you feel like you need some motorcycle road training and formal instruction, there are plenty of classes available. S.M.A.R.T Course (www.smartcourse.net) is based out of North Charleston and offers courses for both beginner and experienced riders and even has a street smart workshop. South Carolina Motorcycle Education program (www.scridered.org) offer classes across the state and also caters to all skill levels. If you are in the lowcountry, their classes meet at Trident Technical College.
If anyone has attended a course and would like to comment, we would love to hear from you!
