And you just proved my point! Thank you, I always appreciate validation.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, while you are forgetting about your worries we are subjected to paying full and complete attention to your "hobby." Don't lump flying in with motorcycle riding, I see a very tenuous correlation.

You'll have to excuse me, I have a brain and fully intact hearing!

*until page views/unique visitors decline, you are probably right.

I can? I didn't know that you could startle small children with expensive cookery? Perhaps if you bang the pots and pans together. And if you are talking about cars with vulgarly noisy after-market exhausts, I agree and would make a similar argument.

Also agree... It's the worst thing the Gawker media has ever done, creating this monster of a comment system (along with the ridiculous partnered log in).

Motorcycles have nothing to do with freedom and everything to do with power.
