Insane menace checking in...

I recommend an MSF course for anyone thinking about getting into riding...the answer I get most often is that it's too expensive. Makes no sense to me to spend $10,000 plus on a scooter then complain about a few hundred more to learn the basics.

One evening about 23 years ago, after a tough day for our sick 8 month old boy, he finally fell asleep. A short time later, a straight pipe H-D went cackling by our house. I looked at my wife, noticed her anger, and that she briefly glanced at the well stocked gun cabinet.

Now, I knew she wouldn't have done something stupid, but it just goes to show that people with loud stereos, cars, bikes, etc. don't realize that they can be disturbing other people. Some folks work 3rd and are trying to sleep, for example.

My mother-in-law was an RN for over 28 yrs and refused to let any of her 5 kids have a cycle until they were on there own. She saw a lot of lives maimed or ended because of the inherent dangers of cycle riding. But I agree that the gov'ment needs to stay out of this and other matters.

Got lots of on and off road bike experience, but prefer a horse for true leisure riding (not to mention the help they are in working cattle). In the words of Winston Churchill: There's something about the outside of a horse that's good for the inside of a man. In the words of my younger son: A horse is "way cooler" any motorcycle.
