Thanks Doc. I wish that I had a watch collection like that as well. As much as I hate to say it, I've all but given up on firearms. I used to shoot weekly, however, I've shot three times in the last 20 months.

Oh gosh, we have to decide what a child is. To the people keeping the numbers they go as high as 19 years old.

Loose the agenda, you are showing your ignorance. We are talking about safes.

Cars and motorbikes kill more people than guns annually. At list guns have a safety switch

In your country or worldwide? Motorbikes are safe, its just those folks who don't watch the road that kill riders.

Its always good to have this in mind... "They don't see me" attitude in order to survive when riding the motorbike.

Sorry for the confusion...I did not mean to imply that there was a connection with owning a gun and shooting someone and not owning a gun and not shooting someone.

There..that's that cleared up....

Man, that is stupid alright. I guess they failed to look up when they're tucked in!

This is where the track comes in... if you need to speed, use the track!

That's not the case with most. Usually it's stupid, inexperianced riders who can't judge closing speed. Saw where a guy ran into the back of a mack truck last week at what was guaged to be about 140. His head stuck into rear door and the truck then stopped after he felt the impact. Attached to the end of the truck was the biker, his head was lodged into the rear door and his feet were beat up from being dragged down the highway. The trucker said that he thought he'd been hit by another mack truck the impact was so great.

Again, sorry to be so OT here, but it's worth the read for other bikers.

Stupid hurts.
