1. It makes sense. My bike gets about 35 'round town, mid forties at
70 on the freeway and 55 on lazy country rides. The work place has parking that will hold 20 bikes or three cars--'course it's kinda crowded and there's overflow with more than 12 but nobody gets blocked in and there's no double parking.

Yeah, it makes sense and if bikes/scooters become more a part of everyday life more cagers will be able to see them.

4. Yeah. I mean my little 250 averages in the 70s around town.
...And $3500-4500 is a lot of money when talkin' motorbikes.

Did you read the article about Bruce Rossmeyer being killed in motorcycle accident in WY? I didn't quite understand why anybody would attempt to pass a truck pulling a trailer if the truck had its left hand signal on. I wonder if there was more to that story.
