Motorcycles look like a lot of fun. I just can't get over how many riders I see down on the freeway here. I have people trying to merge the hard way into my Park Avenue, how would they ever see me on a bike?

Headlight. Your headlight stays on during the day. I often have my highbeams on for better visibility. You could also get a device that flashes between high and low (I forget what it's called).

Here's the deal with motorcycles:

They are not seen as well as cars and trucks
Wrecks have significantly increased chances of harm

They are the fastest and most maneuverable things on the road which allow them to get out of situations better
The lack of a cage around you makes you more aware of your environment

I don't think they are any more dangerous than a car if the rider is willing to be aware of his surroundings simply because they escape danger really well. This is coming form a guy who wears out the sides of his shoes from scraping his footpegs on the road on classic motorcycles. I have been in 3 wrecks. Not one with another vehicle. I was never injured in any of them, but I do ride with full gear too.

The majority of the motorcycle wrecks and motorcycle deaths around here, are the riders own faults. They all get together on the weekends playing badass. Get totally wasted going from bar to bar. Wives fall off the back of bikes beacuse they are so drunk they can't hold on. Or end up in the wrong lane or in a corn field...........

Bikes are DEFINITELY more dangerous than cars... and I don't say that just bc I drag-raced a Busa 1300. People have trouble guaging the speed of bikes. Not to mention, from a long time rider, I'd say that 2 in 20 guys REALLY know how to ride. And I've ridden in packs for many years. When you meet one of those 2 guys though and you get to ride with him... it's an awesome feeling.

I agree 100%

So you're the dude we call.....

Nope. Most of those folks are in India.

I'm in engineering, not support.

I'm still trying to persuade him to send me a copy of Server 2008

I get a great friends and family discount from the employee store on campus. Office, Windows, Xbox, PC games, etc. Let me know via PM if you want something.

[Scotttu]

eh we talked about that one already, think it's outside the scope

[AaronHartwell]

Yeah, I meant anything other than Server 2008.
