[Roadsters] OT: How fast do you have to be going to do this???

Years of motorcycling taught me that a) I am invisible, and b) Everyone is trying to kill me. 

I wish everyone was required to ride a motorcycle for a year or two before being allowed to drive a car. The ones that survive will be the ones that learn defensive driving! <g>

Yeah, yeah, wishful thinking. Next I'll be wanting honest politicians concerned about doing what's best for the country.....
