Shhh, you are not supposed to look behind the curtain MO.

Necessity can be a mean mutha!

Robert, you raise some valid points. I agree with you that most people don't have the situational awareness to long survive on the streets on a motorcycle. On the other hand nothing wakes a person up like the hard slap of reality. It wakes us up much faster than the most eloquent lecture or classroom.

Robert, you bring up some good points about general attitudes toward we riders. Personally, I think EVERY single driving under distraction conviction, every accident causing texting junkie should be made to pay for, take and then have to ride a bike for six months as their sole transportation. Exceptions for picking…

Hey Robert, not sure where you hail from, I live in Ohio. In Montgomery County the process entails police having to present to the Grand Jury why they want the records and then they get approval for a subpoena. It simply is not a matter of pushing a button, or making a phone call. Perhaps the process is different in…

Well Doug, I understand your passion for privacy, which is largely an illusion today though.

Your Harley puts out 170+ HP? What are you riding man?

Robert, I agree with you that the "Profit motive" is incredible in law enforcement today. I hear you, and I share some of the same concerns regarding police powers and abuses. DUI is a huge moneymaker for courts and justice systems, yet do we decry those laws? This morning a young man was crossing the street in front…

We are all going to die at some time, by something. Yet, imho, not all of us really get to live. Riding makes me feel very alive. I waited until I was older and my kids mostly raised to take up riding. Something I wanted to do all my life.

This is a GREAT idea that I hope will come to pass in American cities. As a motorcyclist who has almost been killed by drivers texting and diddling with their cell phone it is past time for folks to either drive or text, not both.

Thanks for the awesome pics. Appreciate your work at showing us the details that I crave. Cooler than a Can Am for sure!

LOL, peace to you my friend.

If she is still alive I'll bet she'll snuggle up to you if you change her depends!!

Agreed, would laugh, but its true. BTW, I'll just bet Obama is the one who rides the broom at his house.

To make the car sell it promised everything, INCLUDING the kitchen sink. Now, when traveling one could say you really did have everything you needed....

This is good news. The world needs more real convertibles, glad that one is returning to the Buick line up. May actually give me an excuse to go back to their showrooms once again. Have not had a new Buick since my '87 Gran National.

Had one, give me a convertible anytime. Had one of these as well.

Resistance is futile.

Excellent work. Very, very often those who stand to do what is indisputably the right thing suffer for it in this world. This is one consequence of putting too much power in accounting and legal, and not enough in engineering.

Incredibly sobering and very moving. This is the best account of the crash and tragedy I have ever seen. Crowd protection is infinitely better, although still not foolproof by any means. One has to wonder why the records remain sealed some sixty years after the fact. May the dead rest in peace and an event of this…
