Bermuda has the highest rate of organ donation in the world thanks to the coral walls and tourists on mopeds.

A common term among doctors for motorcyclists is "organ donor" due to the high rate of stupidity and injuries.
I owned a motorcycle before, but sold it to finance my divorce. I've been seeking the right replacement for quite sometime. My father owns a Chieftain and recommended the brand highly for its styling and reliability. I bought this lightly used Indian Scout so its already taken its biggest depreciation hit which put it at a price that I was comfortable paying. Plus, buying it in the off-season helped with the price negotiations.
I really should have just bought another Yamaha Warrior and avoided all the negative connotations associated with this brand name but I really liked the styling.

I thought I was a conservative rider but I guess not.
One day, I was motoring down to the park where my soon-to-be-wife lived and worked. I was lost in thought, watching the world go by when suddenly a state trooper lit me up.
I pulled over and removed my helmet as he walked over, ticket book in hand. Suddenly he burst out laughing. I asked what was funny and he told me that he expected me to be a punk in my early 20's.
He put his ticket book away and told me "Tone it down a little, 'Pops'."

No thanks.
I rode dirt bikes some, but I'll stick to helicopter-skiing, thanks.

Yeah, like off-piste heli skiing is safe.

The heli ride is the most dangerous part. The off-piste is quite safe if you're a good skier, far safer than sharing a cruiser run at a major resort with a bunch of yahoos skiing waaaaay faster than their skill level should permit. I'm more afraid of bad skiers than I am of trees or avalanches.

I do appreciate quality workmanship when I see it.
Couple of mods and you'll get that sucker to 205 + MPH......

I'm sure for a prudent skier, as I imagine you are, that's true. I was surprised at the percentage of non-illness related deaths of my cohort that things like skiing and kiteboarding made up.

Here in New England the most dangerous thing on the slope is the 200 pound guy skiing in jeans and a New York Giants jacket.
