To look out for motorcyclists. This was the scene outside my office at 2:45 in the afternoon.

The rider denied a ride in the ambulance, and appeared to be alright. He's lucky this time.

Glad to see the rider was at least able to walk away.

I heard about that. I live right down the street, ride by almost every day. That is a dangerous area because of the gas stations and that curve. Glad to hear the guy made it out ok.

My wife and I go to TJ Ribs every now & again (we live in lafayette) and that blind curve going into the entrance is horrible. More than once someone has come flying around that corner while we were trying to enter/exit the restaurant.

Something we (MC riders) have to look out for as well.
Look out for #1 always don't depend on the "inattentivly blind" drivers to look for you, they won't!

Holy Crap RAch! I lived in an apartment on Gubament St. just north of that area. I relocated after Rita and I used to fly through there on my ole rocket..... Never really thought about it, just picked a lane and changed accordingly if dumb people got in the way. Acadian at night headed North is kinda fun. But the red lights sneak up on you. Now I know where you work RAch..No No :food; And is that Ribs place worth a damn?

TJs is definately worth a ^%$#

Hookin it up thru there is a crash lookin to happen, people always making turns to the gas station or TJs, thru traffic and sometimes w/o signals and yaking on the ol cell at the same time.

hmmm, considering I have only had Ribs about 3 times in my life I may have to hit that place up and see what it's all about.

I guess I was lucky when I used to shoot through that area, Guess I better count my blessings for that.
