Thanks for posting this. It's one of the better versions that I've seen. This is just such a normal part of my life that I don't think much of it anymore. I just assume that every car out there is going to try and kill me. Take MSF courses regularly, be aware, don't ride impaired etc, etc.

In the infamous words of Pogo, "we has seen the enemy and he is us". I don't buy the "Loud Pipes Save Lives". I think it's just justification for the fact that we love every aspect of our machines, including the exhaust, so much that we overlook the fact that others may not share our passion. I don't think most of us want to anoy our neighbors, I think some of us just don't care about our neighbors. (I did see a version of this that was great, "Loud Pipes And Drums Save Lives - Seattle Firefighters Pipe and Drums, St. Patricks Day 2007)
