Ok, it's asking me to download a file. :o Well, that Ain't gonna happen!

How 'bout you find a youtube of the video and post it that way.

Ya know. . . When I look at the government funded motorcycle safety stuff from abroad, I do find it fascinating.

I get the feeling that here in the USA, bikes are looked upon as a fly or mosquito at a picnic.
That is; A minor yet incredibly annoying nuisance that hopefully will go away.

Now don't get me wrong. The government is truly the anti-Christ of freedom & common human decency, and I am (in an awkward way) thankful that motorcycles are pretty much ignored here in the US. But still, Europe, Australia, the UK, etc... all seem to be concerned with keeping motorcyclists safe. That's an interesting concept; they want you safe instead of just simply gone.
Just sayin'
