You Fucker how is this ever going to get moved to R&R if you keep defending you stance with thought out replies. Yeah, MT. How will it ever make it R&R with talk like that.

Any time you need someone to go out for a ride again, let me know! As long as it isn't in the snow, I'll be up for it!

And to the comment about slower riders in the fron ton group rides: Most, if not all of the rides I've been on it has been said that the slower riders need not try to keep up if it's beyond their abilities, that the group WILL wait. Myself, I would not like having a knowingly faster rider behind me, having the feeling that I was holding them up, without someone in front of me running good lines to learn from. It is my opinion, and I understand why you have your opinion on the matter. Neither is going to be a perfect solution by any stretch of the imagination.

HOLY COW!!! You've FINALLY gotten around to saying exactly the same thing I have! You've just used different words. I said something about riding a scooter in the snow is not something that I would be likely to do (more likely to after this thread though:D) and that I doubt there are any laws against it, and I'm not for making laws to protect people from themselves, or legislating common sense.

I'd rep you, but the skipy rule prevents it, and I doubt you really care about rep anyway.

Weren't you just telling that story Sat. at the OR lunch?

Yup. They want to say how stupid someone is for doing something they think is a bad idea.

I just don't like much chrome. It's been overdone for far too long.

Replace with a sportbike? 4. Black it out.

So, this is so much different than a car crashing and causing a chain reaction?

Just so that they don't bump the blow off their backs...

Then again, I thought only school girls rode vespa's...

Nah, to ride a vespa in these conditions takes big brass balls (swing'r?)

I'm not trying to justify it, I agree that it's not the smartest thing to do, I just don't see where a vespa (even out of control, laid down, etc) is such a huge danger to everyone on the roads. I'd think that this guy is more likely to be killed than the "antics" that many of us participate in through the summer on our bikes. Dangerous to himself, yes. Dangerous to others, not so much.

Try it and see.

And I would never follow any of them in doing such things...

The only reason I would have for being angry at them would be that their lack of common sense brings on some realy ridiculous legislation. Inconvenviencing me with a mess, not as much.

None of them would do something that would endanger others like passing on a double yellow though...

I agree that it's not that great of an idea.

Did they bring on any legislation, or just scare companies into putting more warnings in place, or modify their products? Fact? Your opinion is now fact for everyone?

JRM says soemthing that makes sense? Some people are not smart enough to know better. Obviously you are, you even quoted me!

Find a friend with a kid in Scouts. They'll GLADLY seel you all you care to eat!
