  1. Hello. Two wars I can think of worth fighting for: If a country or party is trying to invade, overpower and take over America and secondly if the U.S. Government starts going door to door confiscating weapons from sane Americans for the purpose of a total ban. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  2. Strawman. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  3. Same argument for helmets and seat belts. They don't guarantee to save your life but they do greatly increase the odds. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  4. Q. Know why blind people don't skydive? A. Scares the shit out of their dog. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  5. How do you like those warning labels on your gear? Do you believe they prevented a single death? How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  6. This is true, however it is the Democrats who want to take our guns away. Republicans don't push for gun control. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  7. One extreme or the other. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  8. Certification would be the first step towards a total ban. Bit by bit, piece by piece is the Democrats agenda. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  9. Never underestimate a woman's ability to get lost when there are no malls to landmark by. How was she to know that the nearest mall was like, 50 years away? When did that ever slow down a woman? I figure she was looking for more shoes. Or maybe a Hitachi that ran on batteries. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  10. I learned in driving school, you stop behind the stop sign, then if your view is obstructed you slowly creep out until you have a clear view and can see the lane is clear. It sounds like this guy failed to do the latter and just zoomed out there when he ASS U ME'd the lane was clear. Of course, I've seen people look right straight at me, then pull right out in front of me. I agree, there is no excuse for the driver of the F-150 to not have seen him, especially since bikes travel with headlights on. EDIT: After looking at the Google Earth map, there is a lengthy acceleration lane for traffic pulling out onto 288. The F-150 obviously was not using this acceleration lane as he should have and crossed the solid white line into the travelling lane which is illegal. This causes the driver of the F-150 to be totally at fault. This is the way it looks to me. Thanks for posting the maps. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  11. I've been riding motorcycles since 1977 and have a couple close calls to my record. My heart goes out to Dennis and his family. Dennis was always an entertaining guy and a great pilot. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  12. I first met him when I started diving in 1977. I've always known him as a cheerful joking kind of guy, very pleasent to be around. Fond memories of the days him and Garin Broadway would start singing "Those Amazing Men In Their Flying Machines" at the after jump parties. Now THAT'S something I wish I had on video! How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  13. Agreed. Hands-free isn't gong to remove the distraction. I usually drive with one hand on the wheel anyway. It's what takes your mind off the road. Cell phone use while driving needs to be outlawed except in emergencies. Having said that, motorcycles are targets anyway. I ride one and you have to assume people will not see you and always be prepared for the worst and when you see a car anywhere, always have an escape. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  14. Was Lori Love running the place then? How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
  15. Well, when you post a subject that says 'RIP, baby killer,' it sure sounds like a celebration. I guess I'm glad I don't live in Kansas, where access to health care can be eliminated by gunman. My subject line was ironic, however I do not condone the killing of George Tiller. It doesn't help the pro-life movement at all. Kansas is not the only place where abortion docs have been killed, however Tiller was one out of six doctors in the USA I believe that performed late term abortions. This is what made Kansas so popular. How high are we going? Oh about 9000. Oh Mr. Pilot! How high are we going? Oh about 12000! That's the ticket!
