And? The problem is that description is applicable to a great many of our law enforcement personnel. Just saying.

The charge is manslaughter, not first or second degree murder, so just what exactly is your point?

Don't be so sure, while I'll agree with the rest of your statement, it's possible. 120 k isn't that fast, while I certainly don't do it now(my young foolish days), that kind of aggressive riding should be saved for a track, but in my younger days I've taken an off ramp at just under 100 MILES...

You are missing the point. What is being attempted to show here is that the laws have gotten so ridiculous that it is a case of damned if you do or damned if you don't, there is little if ANY difference. And worse, even the innocent are paying a very dear price before they have even been given...

The problem isn't with those that deserved it, it's those poor saps that DIDN'T that are still screwed under this ridiculous law. They may indeed be the minority but there are still far to many that have suffered that shouldn't have under a law that hasn't even been around for even a couple of...

"If caught the penalty is much harsher than if you pulled over." These days one really has to ask. Is this TRUE? Given some of the recent abuses and the range of powers that have been given to police these days, the judge, jury and executioner at the road side before one even gets their day in...

I agree with your Dad, much easier to deal with an increase in mass that's fixed than one that is shifting as a variable distribution of weight. If it's fixed as he suggested then regardless of the additional weight it really only affects the performance(braking and acceleration, etc.) and...

"Motorcycling is a resounding social plus: reduced traffic and parking congestion, better fuel economy and fewer noxious emissions. Motorcycle ownership should be a Green party litmus test. Sadly, these benefits are lost on the majority of Americans" And just exactly would you call that? An...

Your cheating, your counting pre-license ride time...If I factor that in we are about the same...:lol: :cool:

If you notice here it's all us old geezers that worked are way up that have all the years under are belts to talk about it. I've yet to here from any posters starting out on their supersports that have more than a few seasons and they think they're invincible. It's almost a when not if, that...

No I think it needed to be said, good post. Everything's fine and good till something unexpected happens, then you can find yourself in deep do do without experience. Things happen and too often an inexperienced rider will panic and it's all over. Try having a front axle snap in half on you at...

Yes, I did and it was pretty much spot on. Problem is those that really need it probably didn't. :(

Very good articles, they made their point, hopefully some of the newbies will take it to heart. I liked the little blurb on the 2 strokes as well, miss those OW's... :cool:

How long ago did you start?
