Default safety people

Before everyone in America was a safety officer, stupid people died from doing obviously dumb stuff. So they did not breed. Now the world is full of stupid people.

I have said this before and I will say it every time someone posts a safety warning:

How did we, as a society, evolve to the level of civilization that we are today, without all the safety people telling us how to live.

Now, flame away.

Better (stickier) tires and upgraded suspension makes a huge difference compared to stock how the bike feels and handles tar snakes and other road hazards.
