    Stallone ran his OWN PITCREW over for the extra points. When the crowd wasn't cheering for him, he opened fire on them with a tommygun! He's even manlier in Death Race 2000 than he was later in Demolition Man.

    Have had a bike licence for the last 29yrs, 2 injury accidents that I should have seeked medical help for, one in 1989, cracked skull, concusion, my fault skin full of piss, black ice, no helmet, bald back tyre on my old 750. Second in about 92 / 93 low speed crash, dropped front wheel into large pothole, at about 20kmh, hit kidneys on mirrors as I went over the handel bars, pissed blood for a week.

    Well, OK yes it was gold as far as gratutious violence with a twist of black comedy thrown in goes and viewed from that standpoint I guess I can agree with your viewpoint.
    But you certainly couldn't class it as a great movie based on the production, script, special effects and so on but I'm probably being unneccessarily critical - it was after all best viewed as a gory video game come to life, and it was admittedly a long time ago that I saw it.

    Though come to think of it I may be getting confused, wasn't there a crappier remake later on? I can remember David Carradine being in it, but can't remember Stallone in it...shit, it was a long time ago....

    Bugger it.....I'm going to have to find a copy and rewatch it now....bugger it!

    So what did you think of it 98tls?

    Wait, there was a script? I thought they were just making it up as they went.

    Glad to be of assistance.

    Now, if you'll excuse me, there is a creature in the black lagoon who needs to be dealt to. Or needs to hurry up and eat everyone, I can't decide which yet.

    25 year rider, never crashed on road. Had a few spills though when trail biking, but no major injuries.

    2 injury crashes in 4 years, but haven't had any other injury crashes in 27 years.
    Early days yet, but 1 every 13 yrs is still too much in my book.
    One was pretty much just unlucky, (bastard cager) but the other was mostly my bad judgement.

    I had injuries on the track and on the beach (no helmet, no gear...).

    Only time I ever had a injury on the road (that required hospital) was riding drunk in Italy in the 80's on my Bonny in the rain and far too fast. (In those days you were allowed to ride drunk AND w/o helmet in Italy!)

    Apart from that nix.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Been a licenced bike rider since 1966 and never had an accident. Have had a few close calls due to other idiots but time and experience has shown me the benefits of defensive riding and driving so i am always prepared for the unexpected. Hopefully luck stays with me.
    As for ACC, i have been paying levies on four bikes, two cars and a percentage of my income for many years and have never had a claim so i reckon they at least owe me a no claims rebate. Not that it will ever happen.
