:laugh:  I need to remember that.
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

It all depends on how you feel. Im from Illinois and never owned a bike there before, but a few years ago I moved back home and realized there was no helmet law. I had ridden in the Carolinas for 3 years and it just felt weird to not wear one.  O0

Over the weekend, another mc accident claimed the life of a biker. No helmet. The bike was a Harley. Why am I not surprised? The Harley boys will wear half-ton boots with soles as thick as a phone book, but not wear a helmet :cookoo: I guess they value their feet more than their face and brains. Come to think of it, based on their bike preference, riding style and cost of bike ownership, I shouldn't think that they're mental giants! :laugh:

Ok, does anyone else think it's a little weird that the guy in the video with brain damage, Bradley, looks a lot like Ben Rothlisberger?
No bike. =(

Helmet laws or not, I'll never ride without. For one, a bug would freakin hurt hittin you in the face on the freeway. That news guy said riding without a helmet "looks good," I think it looks stupid. Full face helmets look sweet.
