Just added a few clips to my motorcycle page.
Scroll down about 6 paragraphs and click on the TV that says "Watch Video Examples" and you'll get a kick out of a few choice noob videos I've discovered.

Hopefully they will help to hammer home the point of starting on a small bike and taking a training course. Ego and testosterone never quit, do they?

OK I thought I was a noob, but at least I knew enough to pull in the clutch and hit the brake before I lost control. But maybe that's because I sat and practiced that before I even lifted my feet of the ground. So far the only thing I have it (touch wood) is a few kamikazi bugs.

Great site! I love the chart showing suggested beginner, intermediate, and advanced bikes - might even deserve to be sticky posted at the top of this forum (it may prevent noobs like me from posting about every bike they come across...) I like how it stresses the importance of horsepower over engine size.

The page failed for me in Firefox, but worked fine in Internet Expolorer

There is nothing special or unusual about the page. Plain old HTML launched with a standard JavaScript popup. If it won't load for anyone, perhaps your pop-up-blocker or security permissions for JavaScript are set really high.

In Firefox, the window pops up, but only the first video is viewable. The others are black boxes. In IE, everything works fine.
