And this is going to help reduce CO2 output by 70% by 2017? They're gonna need a lot of help. Why don't we start first by stopping burning 200 million tons of coal per day - gee, that might be helpful.

If you are riding a motorcycle, never tailgate a cattle truck! I know two people who learned this the hard way. :cheese:

Some of us figured that out before the need to experience the effects.

BTW, you can add gravel trucks to that list. Helmets actually work! (Not me!)

I was riding tandem on a motorcycle once with a guy, going to get some beer, when he was hit in the face with a ghost moth, at about 40mph. Those suckers are huge and gooey, and we almost wrecked because of it. What a mess when we stopped. He was cursing up a storm so much, and I couldn't help laughing. Guess who bought the beer.

Q: How can you tell when a motorcyclist is happy?
A: Bug stains on his teeth.

(Try an UPSET bee up the right nostril.)

OUCH!! INDEED! 🐛
Just another in a long list of reasons to wear a FULL-FACE helmet! :coolsmile:
Q: What's behind every happy motorcyclist?
A: An empty seat!

You start down that road and you end up in a powder blue Prius!

There are old bikers,
There are bold bikers,
But.....
There are no old, bold bikers.

Same goes for Sailors!

Could be, can't say one way or the other personally. That Kawasaki I had wouldn't float no matter how much air I put in the tires. I've not tried with the scooter yet, though.

A scooters best defence is a good loud HORN! :coolsmile:

I love it! That's an alpine air horn. I don't know if they still sell them here but I'm going to look into it!
