Hi Carol,

 I have to agree, I also wonder as I see this new wave of Motorcycles,
 Up here they call them Crotch Rockets, where the kids ( usually the
 young ones are the only ones who can stand that position for any long
 period of time ) Whip around and do stupid stunts. Just how practical
 or comfortable are they for any long rides or anything else but for
 doing , just as most of them do, weave in and out of traffic and do
 foolish dangerous things on the road. We have what seems to be at least
 2 or more motorcycle accidents a week around here that make the news.
 It doesn't suprise me, and it seems that most of the accidents involve
 these crotch rocket cycles. Seems it is a license to totally ingore the
 law and do stupid things when You put the helmut on and ride one of
 these things. Other Cyclists do some strange things, but with Crotch
 Rockets, it is like they have a license to do the extreme. Like kids on
 a skateboard, doing wierd things. When I watch some of them, I wonder
 to myself, hey! if You wanna break Your leg or head or ankle, there are
 easier ways to do it 8-)

Have a good One!
Mike
