Pffft, I can tell you that. Nobody. Nobody is using their mirrors or paying attention. Well it seems that way. I guess some are because on a few occasions I've been deliberately pushed out of my lane. I've done some stupid things on a bike and I'm sure I'll do some more. Been down once on the street because of the perfect timing from an old Belgian guy who we think had been drinking. Twice more on the track, once at Hockenheim and once at Jennings. Lots of times on dirt. I'd like to get a little bike for the track. Something like an Aprilia 125 or Ninja 250. I was lucky in that shortly after I started riding I went over to Belgium. It was normal to wear full leathers so that's what I got used to. I always rode with a group of about 5 Brits which were a great bunch of guys and crazy fast. I was slowest as I just couldn't get comfortable blasting through turns that I couldn't see through. I believe a lot of times when accidents happen due to distractions whether it be headphones or cellphones those people would have found something else to be distracted by. You can only protect some people so much before they find something else to screw up. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

Ping it when it happens and see if you get a response. Take the IP and start connecting to it that way and see if the same thing happens. Buy a dedicated pron machine and quit using your machine for both. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

Good for you. I guess that open face helmet on your little 125 has a plus to it after all. Try actually looking around and you won't be so dependent on hearing on trying to hear that car running you down from behind. Never said it doesn't negatively impact. But I do think it's so minor that it doesn't matter much. It's not that it doesn't matter at all but it's so far down the list that your whining would be better spent on a myriad of other more common factors that actually matter. It's probably happened but I've never heard of an accident, injury, etc caused or aided by wearing earphones. Not paying attention, no helmet, no training is a different matter. In the end I prefer earplugs over earphones myself. I get tired of the sound which earphones only add to and the earplugs let me hear more, easier. But I generally don't bother with either. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

My big hang up was with Colonel, why is it "Ker-nul"? I can understand how letters become silent sometimes but where does the R come from? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

It's awesome getting to use a car like it was made to though! (The driving not swimming part) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

To quote Squeak "Fuck You!" You seriously equate earphones to not wearing a helmet, maybe wearing sandals etc? My buddy (turkish) and I were the only two people I've ever seen in Florida in full gear while not on a track. While not a squid he was still by far one of if not the craziest dudes on a bike though. Broken "If you don't like your job then find a new one or learn to suck it up" R1 Edit to add: I take back the only two people in Florida part. On a North to South Run I do remember several people in leathers. Special group run but still a lot had full gear that day. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

Fuck you, it's moronic, plain and simple. and I'm not aniti-bike, I ride all the time, have done for 39+ years. Taking away one of your primary senses, is moronic, I don't give a fat rats arse, what you think your "mad skillz" are like. Yeah it's the mad skillz. That must be it. It can't be that you don't hear much through a helmet when you're on a motorcycle, nor the fact that cars don't bother to honk their nice little horns before running your ass over. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

Several of us ride with headphones quite a bit. Some of my buddies do all the time. I think it's Florida law that headphones are a no-no but built in speakers are ok. For those that think it's moronic, shut it and be happy we even wear helmets! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

9 years isn't bad. I don't think it's much about the age difference as much as it is her age. 19 is just too young to be too serious. Sometimes it does work out though I guess, just safer to live a little first. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

Started with a Joint only. Now have the original Joint plus separate accounts. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art. -
Yes yes, you've seen the light and changed your ways. Now can we get back to the single ladies with low standards up in your area? I need some pics, bio's, and stats. Thanks! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

Why would anyone even have to ask for pictures before voting? I mean I see demanding them because we must see them of course but not before voting.

No, I believe in bad tipping too... Trust me...flipping a quarter to a waiter says a lot more than no tip. I've heard of some other ways of saying it better too. One was taking the change and putting it in the glass of water. Put a napkin or something over the cup and turn it over upside down onto the table. Something like that anyways. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

Ya I suppose we wouldn't tip either if our people were cheap, ugly and mean like the English. So you're saying being cheap, fat, and stupid is better? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

I'm against all tipping. I'd rather pay a little extra for the food. I still have and do sometimes but rather hate Americans attitude of entitlement. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

When I had my truck it was a dark green. Now I have my car in a very dark blue. What does it all mean? Does it extend to bikes? My R1 was yamaha blue and my 748 is red which I only accepted as it was the traditional color. I hate red. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

iOS I've found I actually like webOS quite a bit. Guess it used to be Palm before HP bought it. I do have a couple iDevices though. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

I spent close to $100 a couple years ago on one of the cheap chinese knockoff 200 mw green lasers. They don't have any of the required safety features and may or may not have a filter but sure are fun! Edit: Forgot, I haven't seen it yet but a soldier here has a 1W Blue laser. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
