...you win...I admit now that I would always stick to the Saftey Sability Line...sounds legit...I just read it...

Another one for Cassina. The Kawasaki sports bike instruction manual.

The voices in your head are right, just do it. Do. It.

All I can see there is that it's time for a single malt...

And finally, the Harley Davidson instructional video.

Might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.

Van Halen.

I hope your fucking head explodes as you suddenly comprehend how old, slow, and stupid you really are.

Couldn't watch it all, it scared the hell out of me.

Goodness me but a lot of you get your Victoria Secrets in a right tortured wrangle up your collective fannys over cassinas posts!!

I quite enjoyed the ZX10 ride - sounded great,

The Harley fails ...... I'm starting to have issues with Mericans and their led-sleds.......

Ha ha you'd be right - they tend to put advisory speed signs up near cliffs. It's the random dogs that will get you.

Maybe some are, but then again some are also having a bloody good laugh.

To the OP, thanks for the link to the study. As others have said, made interesting reading and provided food for thought. As someone said, would be worthwhile replicating the study - certainly have to agree that using some of the safety fees paid to fund such a replicated study would be money well spent.

As for 23 pages of, I'll be polite and say, "debate"...

Reminds me of the story, probably apocryphal, of the memo from head office to a small branch office requesting information. Memo duly replied to and returned to head office. Memo returns from head office, small branch office considers that from reading the second question that head office didn't read the reply and just sent the memo again with slightly different wording. So replied for second time. Memo returns for third visit. Heck those in head office seem to be rather slow on the up take thinks small branch office but to help head office writes reply for third time but this time in words of mainly one syllable. Next Monday memo is back! Bloody heck, they're not just a bit slow but they're also really dimwitted thinks small branch office and leaves the reply until Tuesday when it is dispatched to head office. Thursday memo returns with all of the questions and replies attached with another version of the original question. On Friday small branch office replies: "This correspondence will cease forthwith!"

Small branch office has lived a quiet and peaceful life since...

Yes, whatever.

As for the group ride, I'm not so sure they would follow you over. We tend to try and follow a
reasonable distance behind and avoid target fixation.

However, I feel confident that there might be plenty that might stop near the edge and applaud.

I'll happily bring fireworks to that occasion
