New Re: Here in Los Angeles . .
How many of those kamikazes-in-the-canyons rice-rocket-riders die every year out there? I remember lazily negotiating a canyon rode near Malibu, one with precipitous dropoffs and pitiful guardrails - when SZHROOM! - these shirtless X-ers passed me going at least 70 or 80. I could only shake my head in wonder at the value these two placed on their lives.

New Oh, not too many . . .
. . maybe two or three a week. Nothing we can't live with. One Suzuki pilot made the paper this week by fleeing from the police. Intersectioned an Excursion at the hard end at 90+ and rides no more (no injuries in the Excursion).

Don't see shirtless ones in my area (probably mostly in the beech communities), but a lot in bike matching $1500 leathers and $450 helmets.

Best description I've ever heard was made up by Sandra (whom I haven't seen for 20 years now):
