Canuckistan posted:In Canada, the laws vary from province to province, but most allow you to keep the roadkill for personal use but you may have to get the OK from a wildlife officer first. The blunt force trauma ruins big portions of the meat because the blood vessels burst, you have to cut out the meat soup to get to the good meat. A lot of roadkill doesnt leave that much edible meat, and theres nothing worse than meat soup mixed together with burst guts, and I draw the line at pregnant rosdkills.

xergm posted:As someone who has experienced the effectiveness of full-face helmets first-hand, I will never understand people who don't wear them. I used to work with a guy who had lost his license and thought 'take the plates off my crotch rocket, always wear a full helmet and run if I see a cop' would keep him out of jail indefinitely.

The only reason I survived my wreck was the full helmet. I blasted the back of my head off the pavement 3 times hard, not to mention the skidding. I don't gently caress around with my helmet choice or any damage found on them.

I was briefly room mates with a moron that bought a bike before getting his license. Took delivery, no registration, no insurance. Threw on his brand new gear and helmet, took off down the main drag that we lived on, and 2 blocks later dropped the bike under a police car. The three of us room mates that weren't utter morons watched the whole thing. Had to pony up a couple extra bucks that month for rent split 3 ways instead of 4, on account of Steve not being liquid or out of jail enough to pay his portion. Ahh, Alberta Oilfield money, where the work is hard and the heads are harder, being made of rocks and all.

iospace posted:Because there was supposedly a study at one point (no one can find this study) that putting a full face helmet on increases the chances of your neck snapping if you land on your head. Someone always has an anecdote about how they knew someone who knew someone broke their neck in motorcycle accident. "The doctors said they would have been fine if only they hadn't been wearing a helmet."

I'm visiting my home town in Northern Ireland. Around this time of year certain areas like to celebrate This one looks finished  There's another one about 100 yards away   All those blue pallets  How to get to the top? Climb into a dumpster  The chances that those people haven been drinking all day is definitely > 0%

They say my friend would have survived that crash if he had been sitting on the roof, operating the car through a series of ropes and pulleys, and then been catapulted through the open window of this mattress warehouse. So really, seatbelts kill more than they save.

I use my old crashed helmet when I'm sharpening the lawnmower blade Since it sits in the garage I'm always checking it for spiders, though I will forever have the image burned in my brain of skidding down the asphault on my helmeted face, watching the road markers whizz by through the visor

I did the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's course at my local technical school. It got me out of taking the road test and got me a little deal on insurance. Plus I learned a lot. Anyway, the second morning on the course this 23ish year old showed up and with scrapes on his helmet way worse than this and a scuffed up jacket. Dumbass bought, rode and crashed his bike before he was licensed and insured. I hope he learned his lesson.

untzthatshit posted:I couldn't think of where I-4 was so I googled it and this is the top result . Happened yesterday. It's literally the most dangerous highway in America. Average of 1.25 fatalities per mile. I think it's because it goes through all the big tourist areas of Central Florida from Daytona to Tampa, with the deadliest stretch of I-4 being the one surrounding the theme parks. You get a ton of tourists and foreigners with their own style of driving and level of testing for their license all mixed into one group, plus the local commuters.

People from states with no right turn on red will adamantly refuse to do so when it's legal, no matter how much they got honked at. People in Atlanta and NYC will tear rear end and accelerate and decelerate quickly to squeeze through whatever gaps they can afford. Los Angeles folk loving speed.

If I lived there I'd speed like a demon whenever I could too (approximately ten minutes every six months, the rest of your driving time is gridlocked).

Before I was stationed on Okinawa, I was a nice Wisconsin boy who learned on quiet county roads, and I'd put my blinker on and wait politely for someone to leave a gap if I had to switch lanes or merge in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. On Okinawa, if you wait for someone to leave a gap for you to merge, you will be sitting there literally forever, or until traffic ends (also never going to happen). So you have to internalize the fact that nobody's going to purposely drive in to you, and just stick your nose out into the lane to make your own gap, and then nudge your way the rest of the way into the lane. Since Okinawa I've never had any problems getting into a lane when I need to
