Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence
I know it has been a while since I did an update, but with going to work, and riding motorcycles, and going on vacation it is hard to find time to update the site!

If a giant pothole appears in front of you that you cannot swerve around what do you do? Stand up. Really rough railroad tracks? Stand up. How do dirt bike riders ride? Standing up. Here is the answer I got:
I got one email today that made sense. Read it below.
