Awesome! Beautiful building, riding and shooting - and story! Great job.

"Loosing" is Ameringrish. I wonder what they think 'lose' and 'losing' are.

Moped racing... no thanks. I've no more interest in this than watching: - motor assisted climbing of El Capitan - motor assisted weight lifting - motor assisted rowing eights

Sheesh! What an idiot! Commenting about a sport he doesn't follow and knows nothing about.

I don't understand why I would care about that. (Not being sarcastic.) There are multiple Commencal "teams" listed above... and Canyon... and Continental.

@thenotoriousmic: What's this hyperbole about? It's not a matter of this fine or being "hung drawn and quartered". And she was a lot more than "a bit" stupid. Like someone who went there to spectate didn't know there was a huge mass of riders about to arrive, filling the road from side to side! I think something that would be a deterrent and make people be careful around the racers would be a good idea.

@GotchaJimmy: You're just making stuff up and then commenting on it... that there are just the two choices of a slap on the wrist or a life sentence of struggle and debt. I think it could be a lot more painful without ruining her whole life... and should be.

@ashlemon: Heinlein didn't get a chance to watch Americans on YouTube or in Comments sections.

With "a group of hikers" available, self defense is a bullshit excuse for stabbing the rider.

@scott-townes: re "that judo link"... For what it's worth: I came off my motorbike twice. - Once was a catapulted HIGH OTB. Came down into one clean roll, back to my feet. No injury. - Once was a violent skid out on a corner. Thrown more horizontally at about 50mph. Body went into automatic... tucked and went into a series of bouncing rolls down the road. I didn't know the human body could bounce like that! Just a little bit of bruising and scraping on one shoulder. In my case, it was years of Aikido... but same thing. HOWEVER, I have been injuried more seriously in two mtb crashes... at much lower speed. One was six broken ribs and a punctured lung! Weird. I wonder at the difference. I think it happens so quickly -- that I was in the ground so fast -- that there was no time to roll. Yes, MTBing is awesome. :)
