yeah, it damned near feels like that. When I walk, I can feel all those muscles and tendons moving back and forth and on top of one another. It's kind of strange, kind of uncomfortable, kind of painful. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
I am not sure, but I don't think that the folks buying the Harley's are balking at the price of the helmet so much as the helmet or jacket itself. Cruisers, in general, are more about form than function and that tends to extend to the riders as well. Again, that's a pretty sweeping generalization as we know damned good and well there are riders out there that don't get pigeon holed into this category. It's just as sweeping and accurate to say that most squids on sport bikes are dangerous because of their lack of skills and they way they ride their bikes. I agree with Bill. Let's not rag on Indian Larry for doing what he did. The guy was an iconic legend in the motorcycling world that gave a lot to the hobby. Let's state the facts, but let's not rub it in and disrespect him, either. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
as required by the Department of Redundancy Department specifications for posting regulations requirements.
That's also why, for you helmeted riders out there, if you do have an impact to your helmet you should consider replacing it quickly as that material is a one-time-use type of material. --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
My number was close, this past Saturday.. I've only laid down a bike twice before, to avoid bad scenes.. I'd never laid one down on the right side until Saturday.. Now.. I have to say that I've laid a bike down three times.. All three times, there was minimal damage to the bike.. This time .. not a scratch..either on the bike nor me.. In these many years and miles, that's pretty good.. I don't count all the escape routes that I've run.. There is too many.. No one has a license to be involved in a wreck.. No one has a license.. not to.. Reactions can very well make the difference in whether you live or die..Additional protection should be a matter of choice and not mandated.. Risks are taken in every aspect of our lives, whether we ride a motorcycle or not.. I've lived a long time and expect to live a lot longer.. I insist on the right to do it my way.. I've never tried to discourage you or anyone else from wearing your helmet or whatever gear you are comfortable with.. I take offense when someone accuses me of being stupid or other idiotic descriptive adjectives for my choice.. IT AIN'T NONE OF YOUR FREAKIN' business.. As long as I am legal and within the law, I will wear what I am comfortable with.. I've developed a fair amount of handling skills that has served me well enough to survive all these years.. If it ain't broke .. don't fix it.. Full face helmets smother me.. I don't like that feeling when I wear one.. Open face helmets are ok, but I just don't like them cupped over my head and ears.. The pleasure of riding my motorcycle in open road is wonderful.. I will continue to utilize my survival skills and hopefully will manage to stay out there with all you kids for a while longer.. Till then.. all you guys wanna wear that stuff.. go for it.. Leave me out of it and don't dare try to force me to comply.. and don't insult me for my opposition .. Your friend in Irving Bill Walker
Well I am glad that you are still here with us. Besides, you are too freaking ornery to die, yet. You have to at least go through the "mean" stage - you know, too mean to die? I completely agree! --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!

No shit, sherlock. What part of 'Saw the day before' don't you understand? I'm only a few hour's ride from Concord, NC and was only one of thousands of bikers to watch the festivities on Saturday, including his arrival with TDC filming. He rode a bike with a unique leather tank cover that looked like alligator scales. He and others in the group were doing stunts on a big cement pad behind one of the buildings. Based on what I saw him do, he could have been wearing a helmet outside the helmet and it still would have killed him. In my opinion, people killing themselves by pulling stupid stunts whether it's for show like Liquid Steel or on a rice-rocket doing a wheelie down the interstate die from STUPIDITY, not from the lack of a helmet. -- gburnore@databasix dot com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- How you look depends on where you go. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary L.
