This coin is being released to help raise awareness of motorcycles on the roads.
This coin is in memory of Todie Phillips of Manitou Beach, MI. He passed away August 12 2008 as a result of a motorcycle accident, he was only 49 years old.
Here are a few more things you should know about motorcycle safety-
*Turn signals on a motorcycle usually are not self-canceling, thus some riders, (especially beginners) sometimes forget to turn them off after a turn or lane change. Make sure a motorcycle's signal is for real.
* Motorcyclists often adjust position within a lane to be seen more easily and to minimize the effects of road debris, passing vehicles, and wind. Understand that motorcyclists adjust lane position for a purpose, not to be reckless or show off or to allow you to share the lane with them.
* Maneuverability is one of a motorcycle's better characteristics, especially at slower speeds and with good road conditions, but don't expect a motorcyclist to always be able to dodge out of the way.
* Stopping distance for motorcycles is nearly the same as for cars, but slippery pavement makes stopping quickly difficult. Allow more following distance behind a motorcycle because it can't always stop "on a dime."
*When a motorcycle is in motion, don't think of it as motorcycle; think of it as a person.

This is the third geocoin we've picked up that's dedicated to Todie. Unfortunately, just before retieved one on January 17th in Miami, we witnessed a motorcycle crash on the freeway. We were on our way to visit a cache to swap bugs. About a mile before the exit we were taking, a motorcycle pasted us at an extreme rate of speed, lost control and veered into a utility pole. The rider did not survive. It was ironic that shortly after seeing this crash, we retrieved a Todie's Wild Ride coin. Well move it along. Thanks for sharing.
