Computer animated, kind of dreamlike. Watch it once, then come back later and watch it again to find stuff that you missed the first time. The end statistics are quite interesting.

That was impressive! And, like you said, the statistics were interesting as well.

Thanks for the video clip, made work go just a little faster today.

I have always wanted to comment on your signature line:
It's the good girls that keep diaries, the bad girls don't have time.
...but its the bad girls that could make money from making a book of their diary, keep that in mind. Oh and let us know when its going to hit the shelves ;) . I bet everyone here would buy a copy.

I used to use "Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity."

a quote from the suffragette (sp?) movement.

I feel like an idiot asking this, but what's a "nr death" ?

I think it's "number", but I don't get it. "Total nr of deaths within 30 days after an accident with a motorcycle/scooter in one year".

Is that the number of people who died within 30 days after having a motorcycle/scooter accident, but not from the accident itself?

Ok. Given the title of the film and the rider's comment about his experience, the only thing that makes sense is that it's the number of deaths (in a year) from motorcycle accidents within the first 30 days of riding experience. If that's what it means, it's poorly worded.

I guess the part after the crash is all in his mind?

Why do all of the bikes in the film smoke? The old triumph twin I can buy, but every other bike seems to smoke as well.
