Personal Quote: | "To them, the bike's garage clutter. To us, it's a Beretta, half a mil' in cash, and a forged passport hidden under the floorboards. Whether it's used or not, that choice is always there." --Dan Walsh, Bike, December 2003 It's better to be dead & cool, than alive & uncool. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? (Warning! This member tends to use sarcasm as a regular form of communication. If a post seems offensive, before you panic and fly off the handlebars, re-read the post and imagine it being said with a sideways grin.) |
