1. One year.
2. C (started old :-) )
3. Yes, all riders wear helmets (North Carolina)
4. B - occasional trips to the corner store I'll chance not seeing a cop. If I am in a state where you can ride with no helmet I might do so briefly.
5. We have the MSF course here. I did take it.
6. Had a spill once avoiding an accident.
7. Was not drining.
8. Was wearing a helmet.
9. Yes
10. A blue-hair pulling out in front of me caused the spill, that and my bad suspension. Front forks twisted and caused a high-side.
