Driving on the Autobahn...	jberryhill	May 2012	#17
And you have to consider	flvegan	May 2012	#18

Anyone tweeting/'facebooking'/whatever while driving is a dipshit regardless of who is around them.	Edweird	May 2012	#55
What I loved most about the Autobahn was the two hard-and-fast rules:	Blue_Tires	May 2012	#44
I couldn't figure out why so many towns are named "Ausfahrt"	jberryhill	May 2012	#65

So you believe that the motorcycle is uncontrollable at that speed? That it will fly off the road	Edweird	May 2012	#63
Engineers? Whatever. Do you want to trust them with your life?	Bake	May 2012	#66
So, you got scared in a curve and therefore no else can ride fast.	Edweird	May 2012	#67
Nope, but I have a family to support.	Bake	May 2012	#68
Of course, anyone that rides faster than you is an idiot.	Edweird	May 2012	#70
166 mph on a public highway is too fast, whether it's 2 wheels or 4.	Bake	May 2012	#73
That is your opinion - which you are of course completely entitled to -	Edweird	May 2012	#76
Why are you so hostile?	Rex	May 2012	#77

What about the other people on the road though?	Aerows	May 2012	#48
Yes, it is. I have gone well into triple digit territory - but not on crowded roads.	Edweird	May 2012	#50
I've been well into triple digits, too	Aerows	May 2012	#54
Your motor skills and perception are impaired while driving drunk. There is no analogy.	Edweird	May 2012	#57
People who do that stuff on a regular basis	MineralMan	May 2012	#43
