No matter what we’re doing ~ we’re only guaranteed four seconds.

Sorry but given the number of idiot drivers on the road, motorcycle riders seem to have little regard for their own safety. Most of the riders I see don’t even wear a helmet.

Yes that is it. I was going to relate a very bad accident I came out of okay on the 280S off the Crystal Springs Rd exit ramp in San Bruno 1990.

It obliterated a BMW K100 and I did not ride again for 10 years. In 2000 I bought a BMW R1100s non-abs and rode it until 2005 when I sold it and have not ridden since. Never down, but I did go through tires especially front tires. I was to worried about getting clobbered by red light runners here in the Chicago area so I sold it.

I'm trying to figure out what nationality those names are. Does anyone know?
Well, the last of their family name suggests French... but the first of their family names... I have never seen before.. As for their given names, I'm clueless...

Off an elevated ramp on a stolen motorcycle, presumbably at speed. Sweet.

Enjoy the ride down Suky . . .

I am sure there are idiot motorcycle drivers out there, but the majority of injuries and death are caused by people in cars that are oblivious to motorcycles...

Arabic first name, French surname usually means North Africa.
