<DIV>dang, and all this time I thought the assault rate was due to road rage and bad drivers...it never occurred to me (until now) that it was my curmudgeonly attitude that attracted bumpers to me ass...now i see the light! actually, DHammond raises a good point...shouldn't be too hard to write something at least half as funny as the TAB editorial.</DIV>

<DIV>and sorry, folks, for the humorless self-absorbed tirade I sent back to the jerk...I will let him know immediately that I was speaking for myself and most bikers enjoy a good joke about being sent to the bike rack in the sky! after all it crosses our minds every time we get on the dang things...</DIV>
