Ross has never taken the MSF, and the last time I talked to him (he rode his R6 up to summit), he didnt even have a motorcycle license.

matches up quite well with the "Less than 10% of the motorcycle riders involved in these accidents had insurance of any kind to provide medical care or replace property."

That's insane, I'm actually quite surprised by that. Confusedhock:

I read them both as saying that about 8-10% of motorcycle riders aren't complete idiots. You should be alright if you put yourself in that elite 10% :wink:

oh, also "The median pre-crash speed was 29.8 mph, and the median crash speed was 21.5 mph"

GO FASTER! :lol:

My fiance hated bikes and hated me everytime I rode mine. After harping on safety for a LONG time she started to warm up to the idea. I won a bet with her to let me take her for a ride one day. After that she loved it and wanted to go out all the time. Just keep being persistent with it.

I'm still having this dilemma, especially after my friend just bought a brand new R6 while I was down visiting him. Even though I own two reasonably powerful cars, I feel like I'm missing out =/

Rub it in fuckers!

I will someday own a bike! It may involve a lot of bribing and / or trickery though of the woman.

why would you put good tires on it? you would kill the good tires because you dont wait for them to warm up...
