BIKER SAFETY TIP OF THE WEEK
QUICK TIPS: General Guidelines For Riding A Motorcycle Safely from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation
Know Your Motorcycle
To be a safe ride, get to know your motorcycle extremely well. It's very different from a car and makes more demands on the operator. The motorcycle goes and turns and stops smoothly accrding to you degree of skill and knowledge.
Get to know your owner's manual; not all motorcycles are exacty alike. Types range from street machines (large touring bikes, cruisers, sport, and traditional) to off-road, and dual-purpose biles. The manual gives you many specifcs you will find helpful in undestanding and maintaining the biek you've choosen.

JOKE OF THE WEEK - Submitted by kiltbill
One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the terrible behavior that was going on. So he called one of His angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time.
When he returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not."
God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion." So God called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time too.
When the angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes, it's true. The Earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good."
God was not pleased. So He decided to e-mail the 5% that were good, because He wanted to encourage them, give them a little something to help them keep going.
Do you know what the e-mail said?
No??? That's ok, I didn't get the email either!
