your crazy, yaris screams mouse car to me.

maybe also lego

My truck is quite small enough. I don't want anything smaller... unless it's only got two wheels.

I had a Honda CB200 when I was in high school - a small road motorcycle but with dirt bike tires (spent most of the time in the woods). I wrecked it without much injury but since my parents were dumb enough to recently tell Renee about that wreck, Renee's afraid that if I buy a bike I'll instantly kill myself, so I guess it's no bike for me, which sucks since they kik any car's ass when it comes to gas mileage.

Yeah there is that danger part. I've probably put a half million miles on motorcycles and it's a wonder I'm alive.

After all, the helmet isn't really to save your life. It's to give the rescue squad a bucket to carry your head home in.

Cars are hard and drivers are stupid.

I used a bike for a daily driver for a while. It was both miserable and dangerous in rush hour traffic.

Bikes are cool for a Sunday ride in the country, but I think it's too dangerous for a daily commute.

5 in every 5 Americans wishes that fucking SUV on the side of them would maintain a single lane and get off their fucking cell phone.

Agreed on last two posts

@ RoH - I was once told by a comic that you don't wear a helmet for protection - the helmet wears you for protection, although I always ride with one anyway if someone lends me a bike or takes me for a ride.

@ MegaRock - Funny you say that - I had to use my horn to prevent a SUV cell phone driver from veering into me just this evening. She looked out her window and waved like I was a long lost high school friend saying hello, clueless that she nearly got into a 58 mph wreck.

I've gotten two tickets for No Helmet.

The first: I was clamming at Long Beach. Riding my bike in the tideline to find razor clams. I had my helmet off. I tossed it on the beach. I might have gotten up to 10 mph a couple times.

The second: A friend of mine was nasty drunk and was gonna get in a fight. He lived 6 blocks from the bar, so I gave him my helmet and hauled him home.

It's a good idea to wear a helmet, but for the police it's a gotcha......

But then bikes are pretty much a gotcha. I've sure paid a lot of bogus tickets over the years.
