Amen to that! Listen carefully, listers! (Unless, of course, you WANT a rich,
widowed, SO). I was just in a motorcycle accident last Friday & guarantee you
do NOT want to go sliding anywhere w/o the car! Not to mention that I was
wearing leathers & a helmet. Low speed cornering dump, here, no permenant
injuries, but I heard (not felt, thank goodness) my head hit the pavement. .
. . Do you wear a helmet in your "B"?
