Hello from Georgia

[Alexander Finger]

Hey,
after one week in Washington DC (rather Sterling, VA), I've now made
it to Atlanta.
I'm happy to notice that there are actually some bikers even on "real
bikes" ;-) wearing helmets. The use of protective gear seems however
unknown between Raleigh and Atlanta 8-/
While taking gas we were then right next to a small incident. A car
pulled over left to get into a gas station, missing the bike which
came downhill on the very left lane. The driver missed the car but
dropped his Harley (and his companion) on the ground while breaking.

The amazing thing is that the emergency team was there in less than
five minutes. Pretty amazing.

I'm still wondering why they brought the ladder truck for a motorcycle
accident, though ;)

cheers
Alex
