First off, I hope all you crazy cats are wearing proper protective gear before you try any of these things. Personally, I'll take my chances with SIPDE, appropriate use of speed on streets, frequent inspections of my brakes, and the stopping power of machines. It's done me well so far. ---o&>o--- Sarah Barwig sarah@... ____________________________________________________________________ I was just kidding about the dive-roll thing Sarah. I agree with you 100% about using the everything the bike gods have given us to avoid an accident. If at the last moment, it still looks like you ain't gonna make it without a collison, you just have to pray that your instincts serve you well and guide your body to the point of least damage (whether that's over the top, under the bottom, around the side, or riding right through it). After that, it's hope or prayer, depending on your personal belief system. dat brooklyn bum _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
