Just imagine how much worse you would feel today if you stayed at my house any longer last night! 
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

That's okay, Matt.
I was just thinkin' that if we could get all the "squids" out there restricted to bikes no bigger than that pocket-bike shown in this video, until they're at least 35 years of age(no guarantee though, of course)...many many lives could be saved down the road.
THEN....we could "go after" those H/D RUBs.
You see....for the first two years of their "apprenticeship", THEY would only be "allowed" on a bike no larger than a friggin' Honda 250 Rebel!!!
Just THINK of how many lives of dentists and middle-aged management types could be spared the horror of a deadly crash...in THAT case! 
I bring this up because a few days ago Judie and I had stopped at a local Starbucks after a 50 mile ride on my BA. We were about to leave when a couple riding up on their pair of Road Kings asked if we were leaving, so they could pull into my parking spot. So I grabbed the BA and pulled it out so they could park there.
Then, I noticed that the wife was all of about 95 LBS soaking wet...MAYBE....while she tried backing into the spot.
Well, of course the little dear got stuck while trying to maneuver her 800+ LB Harley into the spot.
So, being the gentleman that I am, I walked over and assisted in her efforts.
That's when I said..."That's a pretty bike bike for such a little lady! Maybe you should buy a Triumph instead."(and NO ladies....I probably would have said the same thing to a 95lbs MAN also)
Yep! Never been "too big" about big bikes.
Ya see...for the most part...THEY DON'T HANDLE very well in the "technical stuff", ya know. AND especially if you "ain't got" the "heft" to maneuver 'em!
Cheers,
Dwight
(BTW...her response was, "Yeah! This IS a pretty big bike! I'll bet that Triumph o' yours DOES handle a whole lot better")
(Her husband?!....He just glared.[already had the requisite H/D tattoo])
