Kolni- sorry that you feel that way about MADD. If they can prevent somone else from having to endure what my family has been through then they are certainly friends of mine !
I supported MADD 100% at first. Cause at that time they were going after REAL drunk drivers.

Now they want to make it illegal to have even 1 drink and then to drive, and there long term goal is against alcohol period!

They started out good, but became extreme, and THAT is why the founder left them and now speaks out against them. And she did NOT leave on her own free will, she was voted out!

So your saying the speeds in cities should be slower ? How about 25mph ? I would be willing to bet thousands of lives would be saved.
Yeah, and if we made all cars and motorcycles illegal even MORE lives would be saved!

Then we can out law guns...and kinives...and peanutbutter! (lots of people have peanut allergies)

If it saves just ONE child!


do you talk just to here your head rattle ? Your going round and round saying the same things over and over. Just wondering.

Safety always sucks, right up until you take all your skin off in a spill. Or eat the side of a car. I don't know of to many people who like to put on a lot of safety equipment, but if it saves me money and hospital time. Im all for it.

Sorry for going off topic, but atany MADD function I have ever been to. They have stressed the point that they are not anti-alcohol. Just anti-drunk driving

Wow..It just hit me maybe we could get MADD interested in MACPD. (Mothers against cell phone driving ). Couldn't hurt. Here's the thing. I can't remember the last time i read anywhere where a biker took out some kids in a cage because He ws drunk driving. However, I did go look at a situation where a poor guy was at a bar here and got on his bike and started showing off. He lost control and felw across the road and hit a tree and it was all over for Him. Broke His neck. thats sad.

I fear this thread has long survived its usefulness.

in most forums .. handguns / cars / fishing etc .... by the end of the second page... its just folks picking at each other, seldom on topic
any longer. but then again ... its wintertime in a harley forum... <snork>

True,

For awhile this thread was interesting, but after hearing the same 'points of view' over and over nothing is being accomplished...

Now it's just going around in a big circle. Might as well just 'cut and paste' the first few pages and attach them to the latest post.....

Oh well.... Like you say, it's 'winter time'...

Maybe that's because a bike weight on average 700lbs while a car weighs over 3500lbs. Simple physics actually.

However, I did go look at a situation where a poor guy was at a bar here and got on his bike and started showing off. He lost control and felw across the road and hit a tree and it was all over for Him. Broke His neck. thats sad.
Maybe we should outlaw trees then huh?
