On the contrary, that extra set of wheels offering greater stability and the steel offering superior abrasion resistance than common skin is just another reason to choose the cage^H^H^Har over the motorcycle to the people I was stereotyping. Now if you can please name one thing a motorcycle rider can wear that makes the impact against a car softer, I'd be very interested in hearing about it. See, in one month I'm riding from Iowa to California and I'd like to know how to protect myself. So far the leathers only protect against road rash, and the helmet only against impacts at less than 15mph. Or was there a different point you were making that I missed? < Dan Sorenson, DoD 1066, DoH 0000001066, HOG 0602761, NRA CFX0244M > < z1...@exnet.iastate.edu| USENET: post to exotic, distant machines > < vik...@iastate.edu | meet exciting, unusual people. > < ISU disagrees with me | And flame them. >
