I don't have broadband, that's why I can't see it, bummer.

Same here...  I was half awake when I saw it, and it scared the hell out of me...

WOW!  Yeah, this is why I dont street ride anymore.  People are just not good at seeing bikes.  I've even had people look at me right in my eyes and STILL pull out right in front of me!  Its not so bad when you are doing 30mph, but at 60mph, it will kill you in a hurry.  

Just one more reason I love the track so much!

I second that Dave....There are just too many things to worry about while on the street......I know that i'm not the only one, but not long after I started racing I quit riding on the street. At first because it was boring and then I figured out how unsafe it was...Nowadays I don't even feel safe on the street while riding a bike....... To throw my two cents out there - I think that the DMV should incoporate that commercial or something like that into Drivers ED, and also stress or reinforce the motorcyclist thing while getting your drivers license...........

61 or 61 X - Which will it be??

WOW! That is why i retired street riding and save it all for the track. People today are I too much of a hurry to get somewhere or there talking on cell phones not paying attention. I am always looking for bikers, but others just won't take the time to take a second look.

I lived what basically was in the commercial, except I hit the car head-on. I still ride on the street, I love bikes to much to pass up the opp to ride. If you saw the statistics on people that slip in the shower and brake their necks, is that going to prevent you from taking a shower?

What??!??!!

You can break your neck by falling in the shower!!!!  :o

I'm done showering! Maybe a bath.

Broke my neck racing dirt bikes...... I didn't quit riding motorcycles though - I started roadracing instead ;D

When people start jumping into showers unexpectedly and snapping necks of unsuspecting bathers, yes, I will probably re-think my hygiene...   8)

But hey, I just don't street ride because all my money goes into racing...
