If you've ever driven a car over 100mph then you should understand. There are so few things in life that are truly exciting, that one ought to try and eke out every thrill they can.

Have all the thrills you want, enjoy it all you want. But please, sign your organ donor card and tell you wife that you want her to pull the plug when you have the mental capcity of an eggplant, so we don't have to pay your medical bills for the next 20 years.

We will save this quote for your children, after they reach adult age. I'm sure it will bring them a lot of comfort, understanding finally why daddy went to heaven.

His children won't make it to adulthood. According to the NYT, this brand of insanity is genetic:

I'm one of the few who got in and got out, unscathed.

Of course some people refuse to wear seat belts. They don't like to feel "restricted."

Well, being restricted is better than being through the windshield in my book.

I think it is Farrah's dad and grandad who both hold the seat belt down with one hand next to the buckle, so that it LOOKS LIKE they are buckled in, but really are not. It's the height of stupidity.

My children aren't naive enough to suppose I'll be in heaven.

We were all certainly thinking that, but didn't want to say it.

I can't post a link but I understand the average "life span" of a bullet bike is 18 months.
