What the f*ck is it with suddenly everybody pissing on my leg??? Did you not read the first sentence of my initial post??? Do you not know what "devil's advocate" means??? Are you not capable of reading the definition I posted directly above your post???

Just how the f*ck difficult is it to actually read an entire post before hitting that "Reply" button???

Im totally astonished, I started this thread so others could learn and possibly share there safety tips. Everyone claims to be intelligent and mature, yet they take it and turn it into a three ring circus. No one here has the ability to turn away if they don't like the thread. OH NO, they've got to degrade it to the level of a hole in the wall bar.
Has it ever occurred to you that others might be interested in this thread and would like to post , but are afraid because of the flaming ? Why not have some respect and back off. Use some intelligence for a change . I've never seen so many people claiming to be adult's , act like kids so much in my life. If I come up on a post that I have nothing positive to contribute, then I let it go.
Try it some time.

I highly recommend that everyone use cans only!!!
Damn rookies!

Ditch the bitch and strap a keg on the rear pillion. You can also run a pump line from the tap to your helmet, then rewire the horn button to the pump so when you hit the horn button it pumps beer thru the tube and into your mouth.

Well, if they can't hanle a little flaming on an internet board then they sure as hell don't belong on a motorcycle where they can really get hurt.

Get real dude. You just want to preach and we called you on your BS.

Now go make me a sammich little girl.

Now we're using our heads,..........I like the horn-wire pump setup. Now THIS is the kind of thing we should be focusing our efforts on

I have heard that crochet is relatively safe.
Nope, that requires using two pointed sticks.

Some people would STILL poke their eyes out and demand more legislation.

You know, for a guy that don't like preaching, you seem to be doing a lot of it. Are your key board fingers tired yet. GEEESH! So you've voiced you don't like whats being said. How many times are you going to create confrontation ?

You forgot a few Mom:

14. Never ride when the chance of rain is greater than 10%
15. Never ride when the wind gust are more than 10mph.
16. Never ride when it's 71 plus, you might get heat stroke.
17. Never ride when it's below 70, you might get hypothermia.
18. Always, and I mean always make sure you change your underwear before you ride.
