OK, I'll bite.  What's the "H." for?

As an aside, the term is now over, I gave my last class yesterday.  I always
start off my classes with cute little quotes like I usually attach to my
sig.  Yesterday, starting off the last class of the term, someone asked
for a quote that would help put them in a good frame of mind for the final.

I hit them with a Mark Knopfler: 

 "Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug."

There was dead silence, then someone cried out in a pain little squeak,
"That ain't funny!"  At that point everyone broke up.

This has nothing to do with riding, but the weather has kept me off the roads
and I'm bored.  Gonna be a long winter.  :-(

Ride Free,

Bill

As I understand it, the constitution guarantees that we have pretty much
any right that is not specifically restricted by said document.  Anyone
know of any amendments or clauses specifically limiting our right to be
stupid?

Not in the road, the cost of an ambulance ride to morgue is minimal.
Would I even want to be "maintained" as a vegetable if it cost nothing,
I think not, I'd rather donate my organs to charity.  Believe me, that's
incentive to buy insurance.

You forgot that ex-utopian society: the former USSR.  From what I've
heard, most socialists consider socialism an advanced form of
civilization, but only socialists are smart enough to understand this,
and being superior to everyone else, it is their duty to force socialism
on their inferiors by whatever means necessary.  Of course, it is all
for the good of their inferiors who are too stupid to realize it.  This
is why laws to protect us from ourselves (like helmet laws), are
considered socialist, demeaning, and spawned by Satan, by those of us
too stupid to know what is best for us.

They have: crack, glue sniffing, bungee jumping from the St Louis Arch.

Why do you think smoking got banned from public places? Not because it was
unpleasant to a small minority to sniff other peoples' smoke, but because of
the enormous cost to society of health care for millions  of respiratory
cripples.

Do you wear them as earphones in the lab, or is a free standing unit that

some frequence response curves and noise shaping for several helmets.
They also talked about human hearing response.  As I understand it, you
would have to diminish quite a bit of the high-frequencies to obviate the
need for earplugs.  My earplugs stop the middle-high frequencies, which
eliminates the most annoying wind sound, but allows the very highs, so
I can hear more valve clatter, and very lows, so I can hear wind rumble.

What I want is noise-cancelling ear-plugs.  Cuts out random noise, but
recognizes patterns, so allows engine whine (from cars), horns, and
sirens.  And speech, maybe.  Wouldn't it be nice to talk to your pillion

I've got over 5K miles on my ME33 front tire and it shows very little wear.
Low tire pressure will eat it up faster ... I generally run about 34-36 PSI 
so maybe you *are* running too low PSI.

What bike are you running it on?

 If motorcyclists were that interested in safety, they'd take the bus.
