Very well put..... I agree completely with what you have said. To go along with what you are saying I think that for laws pertaining to motorcycles the people allowed to vote on them should have to posess a cycle endorsment or license.

It basically means to crash, go down, bail or whatever term you choose to use for having an accident. I wouldn't call it a "crotch rocket" term so to speak because I first heard it a while ago when riding dirt bikes.
