David,
It is only fair, that they are not all that fond of me either.

Bill,
I do realize that we are NOT the center of the universe, but when a Cbra gets damaged, stolen, or involved in an accident we hear it in here.

In the last three years I have seen many posts in here regarding vehicles owned by others listed in here when something unusal happened..

I bet, if someone in Akron Ohio got in an accident of some serious nature and the driver had never heard of us before, somehow the accident will still get reported by someone in here, and possibly have pictures to look at as well.

It has happened before and will happen again. Why? Because we are curious, and interested and really care, that one of our own have fallen.

I would be willing to bet, if some one, somewhere got killed this weekend (god forbid) in a Cobra, and it made the newspapers or the local media, by tomorrow afternoon it will be listed in here.

Based on that morbid curiosity of reporting and examining, chastising we do in here, it is safe to say, I can count the number of serious incidents reported here at Club CObra in one, maybe two hands.

Please don't take me wrong, I do know how dangerous these things are. I shake in my boots everytime I get behind the wheel of one. That fear maybe will allow me to live a little longer. I also fear my motorcycle.

You know something, it is a calculated risk I have decided to take. I just want to be allowed to take that chance if I am not hurting others. I am against the helmet laws too.

I don't belive a few hours on the track is going to make me a better driver, and therefore I can do what? Drive faster on the streets because of my vast training for two hours?

I don't want to race anyone, I don't want to kill anyone, I just don't want to be told what all I have to do, so WE can be safe. I prefer to figure that out for myself.
