I think its more because ive seen both my brother and dad go down with bad injuries. My brother still rides but my dad doesnt...mainly because i dont think he wants to buy another bike.

My defensive driving meter goes off 100x's more when on the bike.

Risk is just higher here.

Old people who can barely turn their blinker on none the less see a bike coming.

Weve gotta get exhausts man!!!!

Exhaust doesn't really show visibility. But wearing bright color gear helps. Statistics show riders who have white helmet are spotted easier than wearing black helmets.

I saw a Lava FRS with a body kit and the plate "THEBAHM" driving home yesterday on the 101. Anybody here?

No exhaust doesnt show visibility but you can hear a bike way before you can see one. And yes I have a white helmet and a white bike.

The jacket is black but thats because white leather is just too dam hard to keep clean lol

So..... We just had a Hot Lava FRS dropped off on the dealership parking lot. Im 99% sure for vol repo. They pulled the factory seats out and placed some nasty seats inside not bolted or anything. Fender garnish's are missing, front turn signal housings gone. Has a vivid racing Lic plate frame. I'm sure it's due to unfortunate circumstances. That sucks. But damn. The car is going to then go they auction and they will go after you for the remaining balance due. By trashing it, it just put you on the hook for more money in collection.

I am assuming since he was on drugs that he was going the wrong way into on coming traffic. But if thats the case how did the dad not see a car coming right at him. It always makes me wonder in head on collisions how the "normal driver" doesnt see someone coming right at them.

Now that the media titled it street racing that just feeds the stereotype the public has of modified cars and now has cops breathing down the tail of every car with an exhaust.
I was involved in a roll over accident years ago that some mormons witnessed and they told the cops we were street racing and that absolutly was not the case. It was more like road rage than anything else.

Ebay catted headers for 330 shipped. Look fantastic but no reviews yet and no returns.

That's fine just tell me what auction my wife works at a dealership who is also one of our continued supporters for the Car Show for Cancer. He is already looking into selling the Vette for me. So if I tell him to look out for that Orange FR-S for me he will find it so long as he knows where to look... and I remind him what an Orange FR-S looks like

Interesting... Now if only there was a non-catted version but then I already have a set of headers lol. If someone wants my set cheap I will buy a set of these without the Cat if they are made and test them.

Does she work for Toyota? It will end up at a Toyota auction. Plus there would be know way for me to know where and when it will go thru. It will most likely be a month or 2 before it goes

No O'Rielly Chevrolet. I do have a family member at Precision Toyota but I doubt he can get me that information guess I could try.

Sounds like I have a little time though so I will just tell him to keep a look out for it and when it comes up that I want it.
