That's why I said "sports" hero. The selflessness that makes a real hero is not found in great quantities in present day society.

He had a permit, but it expired months ago. That's the last thing I'd be getting on him about. I have two bikes - rarely ride one of them so I let it's registration lapse. But I do ride it once in a blue moon - if I get a ticket, I'll pay it. I imagine if it's that easy for me, it's much easier for ...

That's completely asinine. What the hell does an extra pound or two mean when your face is going through a windshield? Does not compute. What crazy donkey doctor said that? Perhaps he was thinking of a half/helmet, which probably wouldn't have helped since he took a major blow to the jaw. A full-fac...

What crazy donkey doctor said that? Perhaps he was thinking of a half/helmet, which probably wouldn't have helped since he took a major blow to the jaw. A full-face damn sure would have helped... and I don't think you need medical degree to know that.

My point being that the witness at the scene said Ben had the green. that doesn't mean he was riding safely - he obviously wasn't - but when it comes to damages the other lady pays if he had the green. Won't fix his face but I'll assure you both insurance companies will be quite interested in that f...

We don't know wh...

Just saw this... "Reports added that a car, with Maine license plates, was traveling in the opposite direction of Roethlisberger's motorcycle and turned left. Roethlisberger was unable to stop and the motorcycle hit the passenger side door. " That's not a shocker. That was the #1 cause for...

Shaq also has a super-stretched West Coast Chopper.

I read broken nose, broken jaw. Sounds like the full-face could have done quite a bit of good here. Unless you are one of those people who believe the added weight of his helmet would have caused his head to fly off his body. In that case, not wearing the helmet saved his life. /Go Steelers! //wear ...
