    We could just lock ourselves in our bathroom, and we'd never be in danger.

    Yep but the way my back feels today I wish I would have done that yesterday. It's like someone is sticking a knife between by discs.

    Just get one of these suits:

    If I had one of those suits, I think I would kill time just running in to brick walls for the hell of it.

    I would totally be tempted to pull a Superman off the garage.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    lol. Your lightning has an air bag, would you run it into a brick wall? You should do it....but make sure you have it on video!!!!!!:p:p

    I wonder if you can just replace the air bag or if you'd have to replace the entire suit? I think you might start a trend John :)

    Given the same set of circumstances of an accident you are going to come out worse for the wear on a bike:

    Get rearended
    Get T-Boned
    Get Sideswiped
    You Rear end some one
    You T-bone some one
    You sideswipe some
    You role over
    You have a blow out

    All these scenarios are going to be worse on a bike.

    My first bike was a YZ 60 (at 9 years old), then KX 125, then a CR-250, finally my last bike was a YZ 400( at 25 years old). I had no problem riding trail and dirt. You will never catch me on the road. I have friends that keep trying to get me to get a street rig. I will go back to dirt/mx before I do that.
