Great message!
It's like I commented about putting a clock on your motorcycle. This usually means you have scheduled places to be. One thought I had was what my son told me about learning to fly. His instructor said folks trying to be at certain places at certain times, to either keep a promise or schedule, often had them spend less time on doing things safe and more on beating the clock.

Being UA is not that big a deal where you need to risk your life, other people's lives, or that of the law enforcement officers by launching a 300-750 pound semi-guided missile into the mix.

I've done stupid chit like that but was lucky enough to survive, I suppose all of do/have at one time or another.

I read an article about helmets that the front face part lifts up along with the shield. The article went on and on about how the pivot point for these helmets was in line with the temple. Long story short, a young man wrecked and the writer stated he died, austensibly because the pivot point impacted his brain. I was really concerned, as I had recently acquired one of these helmets. Then they showed a picture of the motorcycle. It was pushed in to about half it's original length. There was enough energy transfer indicated in the picture to estimate the speed in excess of 100 mph. I don't care if you are wearing a full body helmet and a Goldwing airbag, it's difficult to survive these types of crashes. I know because I looked at these type things for 27 years until I was fortunate enough to retire.
