Cheap compression testers?

Well I am a founding member of the "Previously Deceased Motorcycle Riders Club" having been triarged as DOA at the emergency department .
I got taught to ride by a speedway rider so learned how to fall off without hurting yourself.
Should be compulsory training for all motorcyclists
And to push things further, no one should be allowed to drive a 4 wheeler untill they have done a couple of years on 2 wheels and have learned to read a road.
The again a couple of years in sedans before a 4WD urban assult vehicle or heavy truck.

I was reading the road pretty good going around a blind curve about 40 mph in the rain when a car came around the corner well left of center. Touched the brakes and the bike slid out and i Supermanned down the road. No skill, just luck the car missed me by inches and i went between the guardrail posts. Of course the car didn't stop.

Combining motorcycles and lawnmowers....why do people throw their grass clippings into the street?

BEcause they are selfish greedy lazy consumers who were brought up in an apartment .
I knew a council inspector who was livid about people doing this so he would force a ball up their stormwater outlet into the street drain .
Then when it rained and their guttering fell off the roof & the yard turned into a bog they would call the councit to complain.Several hundred dollars latter he would tell them it was grass clipping blocking the outlet .
This worked very well
Telling them it was illegal garbage dumping or even fining them made not difference.
And he was a motorcyclist too which is how I knew him.

Don't forget the ones who blow leaves into the street. Wet leaves are the best

These same people would undoubtedly throw a FIT if someone threw a hamburger wrapper out in front of their house, despite that it poses essentially no risk, while a street coated with grass clippings is about as slippery as ice.
