I love threads like this. I really honestly do. some much passion poured in to telling other people what to do and then defending the reasoning.

Government studies are great things. They tell us all sorts of stuff. Usually left out of the report is who did the study and their bias.

Take the study about child safety seats done by our (the US) government. The report found that children were not actually any safer in the child safety seat than they were properly belted in to the cars seat. The government later pulled the report due to fears of the impact. Take NASA's study of air traffic safety - it wasnt released b/c the data it contained would scare the sh!t out of passengers and make them not fly. Even better the existence of the report came to light just weeks before major holiday travel. Greatness.

I don't discount all information I come across but I don't just accept data handed to me. The more I learn the more it becomes clear everything is not what it first appears to be.

Telling anybody what to ride is simply arrogant. Providing actual information about riding a motorcycle (which in fact a lot of people shouldnt do either) would be wiser.

But like I said - I love this thread and its brethen. It doesnt change what I'm going to do tomorrow. It won't actually change what anybody else is going to do tomorrow. It just gets some people twisted. That I love. So please - play on.
