Flash grenades can save lives. The sound of screeching brakes can save lives. The sound of a thousand hands clapping can save lives. And on it goes... But you're missing the point entirely. A solution is only a _viable_ solution if it works when everyone does it. If everyone were to make significantly more noise than everyone else, what you'd get is a feedback loop the end result of which would be global deafness and a damage bill that would make the cost of rebuilding Jericho look like small change. Grow a brain, dude. And until then, for everyone's safety, stay off the roads. ================= Onya bike Gerry

EPA are just greenie wankers that culled the like of the original Neon from Chrysler (originally a 2 stroke that had better fuel economy and power than the 4 stroke it eventually came out with because it could not meet stricter emission standards). They played a part in banning MMT which is a good antiknock additive and fuel extender. They are stories out there if you want to go searching. Al -- I don't take sides.

If you hit me and I find out where you live, an axe in your forehead can be rather uncomfortable but would alleviate my pain and suffering somewhat. Thank you and have a nice day, gentle motorist.

I found out quickly by the shocked look on one drivers faces that he failed to hear the quiet bike. It was close to a T-bone... not in my favour. Stoopid EPA noise laws have killed bike riders and thamkfully N1 was not brought in. Al -- I don't take sides. It's more fun to insult everyone. http://kwakakid.cjb.net/insult.html
