	Tom said the video shown wasn't relevant. I begged to differ. And yes, there is a big difference between going 15 over on the interstate and some of the behavior I see on 129. If you can't see the difference then you might be part of the problem. And if you ever have a kid, your view will change. How you THINK you feel about this could change in a minute. Don't forget that. The funniest part to me is that for most riders, it is an ego thing. They hear the concern and it goes right to the idea of who is "skilled" enough to do certain illegal maneuvers. It doesn't hit home to them at all that maybe on a road like 129 on a fucking saturday isn't the best place to risk everyone else's ass because they are 45 and still trying to prove themselves. Still on the high horse. Sorry.
