- If your brother had that many accidents, he is/was an idiot.
- He's damned lucky, and the Gene Pool is damned *un*lucky that
- he screwed up his legs instead of his gonads.
-
- I have been riding for 13 years, and have never gotten more
- than a few bruises and a scrape, and I spent my youthful
- follies street racing.
-
- Some people are simply too incompetent to ride, and I
- object to being restricted in *my* choice because
- *your* brother is a fuckup.
-
- The more bozos get them selves killed the better off
- the world is, frankly.
