    Elderly drivers scare me...!!

    How about the flip side? My dad is 80+, still driving. I am the first to admit his driving skills are not what they used to be. BUT he and my mom live out in the middle of nowhere. There is no public transit and no taxis, the nearest store is 20 Km away. So without driving they would not be...

    Do you let anyone borrow your vehicle?

    Yep. I normally would not accept another's M/C. Especially if I am not familiar with the bike. I'd feel bad if something went wrong. Not really worth the risk. I just admire their ride and slap 'em on the back... "You luck fellow you!"

    Do you let anyone borrow your vehicle?

    From my perspective there are two dimensions to letting someone borrow your bike. 1) The material (the bike) 2) the safety (their health/well being) for #1, I have insurance. Even if I did not, I would never put money before friendship. for #2 It is not wise to let those without the...

    Physics of Speed Bumps

    Yongest Pilion Age

    Re: Youngest Pilion Age Reading the posts here, there is one thing that comes across as a general theme, and that is that M/C are definitely secondary modes of transport. Here in Asia the Honda Step through IS the family car and thus the M/C is the main means of transportation for many. That...

    I would say that that describes most any safety equiptment. It's like life insurance... hopefull you never need it. And like life insurance are you willing to die to find out you do need it? My bike does not have ABS, nor is it offered here. I would not knock the bike due to the lack of...
