That front brake will flip you over the handlebars, loud pipes save lives, can't hear or see anything wearing a helmet, riding side by side is safer,  Darwinism can't work fast enough imho.

And why do I need fingers in my gloves and sleeves on my jacket/ shirt, when my tatts will save me. :hehehe

Amazing isn't it?


He's going to get a bigger bike and probably not use those front brakes either.

Not to go too articulate on you but I think you meant [is] OMNISCIENT, as in ...all knowing.
