This commercial makes me cringe.

P.S. I do not know how to embed a youtube video.
P.S.S. Oh, they embed themselves now.

Congratulations you figured it out. This commercial is scary making you think what they would look like if there were riders on those bikes.

Those crashes should be an advertisement for coffins or something.

1. I was just playing with you... notice the smilie. That usually means sarcasm. You ought to know that by now '05.

2. How can you shut your mouth and talk to somebody at the same time?

Only idiots ride without:
Medical Insurance
Helmet
Life Insurance (if you have a family)

I got to do a rotation in the ER last week 10 yr old kid, ATV riding out with his parents, no helmet, careflight from AZ...no medical insurance...kid is up in recovery now ****ed up with brain damage. One of the most moronic things I've been privileged to watch a parent do.

I want insurance for my bike. But when I called all the major companies they all wanted minimum of $2500; and I have a clean record. Said screw that. Not going to pay 25% of my bike per year just so I can ride 3-4 months. I just paid out of pocket when I layed it down.

I was shocked when I called for insurance. I'm 32, and I'm not going to pay that much more for bike insurance when it's a lot cheaper than my car. Granted, I will probably drop that bike before I mess up in my car, but $2000+ for insurance is crazy to me.
