Long distance riders

GPS systems: A great little toy and I'd love to have one for a couple of months to play with until I got bored with it. I reckon it would quickly take the fun out of riding. Go get lost for chrissake!

The advantage of taking precautions is that you have a secure life. The advantage of taking risks is that you have adventures! Depends which code you want to live by.

LOL I completely understand but, even when you get lost, you've got to find your way to your destination eventually. And a GPS can help with that.

Perfect example is today. My wife and I and a friend down from Canada are taking a trip down to Atlanta for the bike show. We rented a car with a GPS System. Now we can go wherever we want and know we'll be able to enjoy getting lost without having to worry about finding our way to the hotel or the bike show.

To be honest i am just vain enough to go for laser eye surgery when my eyes deteriorate... and get a number one cut when I can no longer deny I am losing my hair...

I'm vain enough for the number one. Down to number three already, number two coming up soon. Hair loss requires drastic solutions. In my case I went out and bought a bike

Your H&S officer should be shot. If there weren't risks inherent with using a VDU screen all day everyday - why are their regulations about when you HAVE to go for a break, why are government subsidies for VDU users requiring glasses and why is it acknowledged that flat screen monitors strain our eyes LESS![/i][/b]

As usual the government likes to blame the individual. They say if you use the VDU 'properly' it cannot affect your eyesight. Dear Mr Liam Donaldson, Mr Blair's CMO, is as slippery as his boss. Never believe anything put out by that man's department.
