the postings had too many words, my brain was hurting so I thought i'd interject some irreverence

 

at times like that the banana splits song runs through my head

 

make it stop

 

Tra la la, la la la, tra la la, la la la

the funny thing is you know the words to the song.

 

it sounds like these kids (that are killing themselves on these bikes) could haveused some Guidance.
But don't put limits on what I spend my hard earned money on

 

EXACTLY!!!

 

Amen

 

there's this article on new yamaha 125 cc sportsbike-lookalike, but it also discusses EU legislation regarding the age and experience with which you actually can buy a more powerful bike. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Articl...451&Page=1

Small story here, skip to the end if you don't want to read:

I was on the trans canada last year with my dad, him driving his dodge durango. Two Aprilia sport bikes infront of us, both guys looking around 25ish, wearing the full suit. My dad, right behind them, keeping a safe distance, and they start popping wheelies. My dad, who used to ride bikes noticed that they were going to fall back, so he switched lanes and stepped on the breaks. The guy fell back, the bike tumpling into other lanes. So my dad pulled to the shoulder, while the other biker didn't see and just kept going. The guy got up and I ran out to help the guy while my dad moved the bike. The ambulance came, everyone stopped and he completely screwed up his foot, but he was lucky to be alive.

The point that I'm trying to get at is that if you do stupid stunts, your more likely going to get into an accident. Its common sense. If however, your just a normal rider, the only thing that you need to worry about is other drivers. My moms old boyfriend, before I was born, died the first time he sat on the bike because of a drunk driver. The bad thing is, is that the guys name was Andy, and that happens to be my name, so I hope it isn't like a curse

I guess its all luck, and you need to be aware of what happens around you.
