Can we wait until 2020 is over to try and make contact? Seems like a bad year to let anyone outside of our galaxy know we exist..... just a thought.

Why would I go to prison if a helmet was optional? Why would you go to prison if I wasn’t wearing a helmet and was injured unless you were acting in a reckless manner? How does a lack of safety on my part infringe on your freedom unless we are talking about laws to mandate helmets? Never said...

sure but that was the path you chose when you responded to all of the other things I mentioned in response to your initial rant.

That was me. Never said I didn’t wear one but also asked if the OP ate sugar, drank sodas, spirits or smoked. I don’t see much of a difference.

Also... yes it was an autopsy report but it was defined by certain periods. In this case it was injuries seen before helmets were required and after. Do you expect the results to differ in living subjects?

I do wear a helmet every time I ride if your comment was pointed at me.

so what is your experience level? My current bike has just shy of 500K miles and it is my 3rd street bike. I’ve also spent many years on dirt and have raced. yes, racers can and do pop up after 100mph accidents but NASCAR racers also survive 200 mph flips while people die everyday from hitting...

I was forced off the road at 45 by an oncoming car that crossed the line. Jumped a ditch and slid across a farmer’s field. The full face sure saved my bacon.

While AF style Nomex are not necessarily appropriate for the OPs use I would suggest looking for Army Armor Crewman gloves if you do purchase nomex. I still have and use my 8 or 9 year old Army issued nomex tanker gloves while the AF style come apart at the fingertips fairly quickly and usually...

One of the hardest things to learn was what "just enough" was. How much rudder do I use on climb out? Just enough. How much throttle do I add when entering a steep turn? Just enough.... Keep it up and you'll be fine.

Very true, especially if you remember what this place was like before the mid 80s.

I love being a native Washingtonian.... well, because of the beauty that is. Please stop sharing photos of the mountains, ocean, rain forest and desert and limit all discussion to the horrible rain, wind and overcast skies so we don't keep getting overrun!! PLEASE!!!!!

No rush to climb leaving Renton. Head east over Kent, south to KPLU and start climbing as the Class Bravo shelf fades out. Get flight following and take some good photos as you take a lap or two. I've done this a couple of times in clam wind and will leave the wind limit suggestions to those...

I asked this question of a CFI years ago while planning a flight to KRNT for a X-country. He looked at me like I had a 3rd eyeball and said there was no such thing and then proceeded to quiz me on chart symbols and airspace. I never did get an answer...

Enjoyment can be it's own purpose....

Hurry up and get that published! I'm running out of good aviation YT videos to watch!

As previously stated, no light is necessary for a flag on a wall, only one flying on a pole. I had a long discussion with a LTC about the garrison flag that was on the wall in the drill hall. He wanted it taken down and put in a case while the power was disconnected from the building during an...
