I think the dog is cute. The image of a fluff dog smashed into a crotch by a gas generator less so

I've changed my mind, I'd like you sentenced to using CP/M86 for the rest of your days

CP/M is a standard. He should be made to use AMOS.

Monday morning quarterbacking but it looks like (C) was a viable option. Go for the shoulder/grass and take the ditch rather than eating truck tires and axle for your last meal.

not really when you've got a thing approaching in your blind spot which then PITs you into the truck

It's idiotic. If the cop doesn't want you, then he doesn't want you and now you're riding dangerously trying to run for no reason. If he wants you, he has your license plate on his camera and a radio to call the precinct, and you've just added evading pursuit to whatever else.

If you're riding without a license plate so you can be a moron on public roads, :thumbsup: being a super badass I guess?

That's called snaking and it's how you get turbo boosts, thank you very much

when my dad fell off the roof and broke several ribs and his collarbone and punctured his lung, and crawled around the house into the kitchen to call me and ask for a ride to the hospital, I broke many laws on the way to his house, but I sure as hell didn't follow the ambulance

Emergency crews should get the info from the ATV assholes via the police for later, then take their sweet time when someone from the group gets in a gnarly accident. "Sorry, we would've made it sooner but another group of assholes on ATVs blocked us instead of moving :shrug:"

I think they should treat them promptly and with care and yell at them the whole time

I like these, they are pretty loud, and decently cheap: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000DINKPQ

I put one of these on both motorcycles, and its much louder than the lovely stock horn, plus it doesn't kill the stock fuse.

I've got about a dozen high/low sets of these (someone recycled them where I work) and was considering mounting them to my car with a starter solenoid to trigger them.

If sitting in the sun in a jacket and helmet for more than a few minutes is life threatening you probably shouldn't be riding a motorcycle...

C'mon. You try sitting out there, in public, in full leathers, with all that power throbbing between your legs, and tell me it doesn't make you hot under the collar.
