I'm a motorcyclist, and have been since I was 15. My current bike is a
Honda Reflex 250cc scooter, the perfect vehicle for city driving at 80 mpg.

Notice how the call for "increased motorcycle safety awareness" and
"helmets", which is what hung this guy from the truck until he was dead,
and more penalties, always more jail time, which never does anything is
always called for.

WHAT WOULD BE WRONG WITH LIMITING THE SIZE OF MOTORCYCLE ENGINES TO
SOMETHING LESS THAN THE 500HP SUZUKI HAYABUSA OR THE 1,800CC HONDA MONSTERS
OR THE 1,500CC HARLEY BEASTS?!

You'll never see that called for because that would hurt the DEALERS THAT
SOLD IT TO HIM. It's just peachy ok to build and sell motorcycles whos
speedometer tops out at 450 mph.....to the dumbest recipients of the Darwin
Awards.

My 250 will cruise just as fast as the traffic on the interstate....Isn't
that fast enough? No, we need a production motorcycle...sports car...hot
Japanese drifter...that will do 0 to 120 in 4.8 seconds.

No motorcycles over 250CC....
No cars over 120hp....
No pickup trucks, either.

.....and MOST IMPORTANT.....

EVERYONE'S FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS MUST ALL BE AT EXACTLY THE SAME HEIGHT AS
A 1985 FORD SEDAN....or some STANDARD height! Any variation over 1" MUST
result in confiscation and disposal of the offending vehicle....no
exceptions.

****heads like this jerk give motorcycling a bad name.....
