Yeah.  I've got a pic of my bike here somewhere.  Otherwise, it's at Photobucket.

You could always get a jet-pack.

well, the VTOL rules are kinda foggey in that area.

plus the jetpacks have a really limited range, fuel consumption sucks on them.

motorcycle gets 60MPG at 200MPH, and if you run out of gas, you don't fall to your death.

now, granted that's not the safest place to be either... specially if you are being chaced by a go-gang; but at least you don't need to wear a parashoot 'just in case'

Well, if you've got enough momentum, just kick it into neutral and coast to a place you can jump off and hide.

Fear the squirrels, though!

After go-gangs and traffic on freeways, they're a biker's greatest danger!

I hit a ground squirrel with my mountain bike.  stupid thing ran right in front of me.  Forunately I was going straight, so all that happened is my front tire skidded for several feet before shooting the squirrel out to one side.  Dunno if it survived, because I was running late for work.  It wasn't there when I went to lunch, though.

I once ran over a squirl in my Volkswagon Beetle. Personally, I'm surprised the car didn't explode on impact, but unless you've ever owned one of them, you wouldn't understand my concern. ;) ANYWAY, it was wierd because the squirrel did that thing when it ran out and when it got across the road (thus avoiding death) it switched and RAN BACK THE OTHER WAY!!!!! Well, what makes this instance unique was that the only thing I hit on the squirrel was it's head. SO imagine just running over a squirrel's head. It really looked cool in the rearview mirror with it's head about 1mm thick and the rest of the body twitching like hell.

Just thought I'd share that.

I'm sure PETA will be responding shortly with protestors. ;D

Specifically, I was referring to a story that my brother sent me after we bought the latest round of motorcycles. ;D It was tres' amusing.
