Well said. Cobber is good people. His recent statements reminded me of the day I realized that the only thing between me and the asphalt speeding below my feet at 70 mph was my jeans and leather jacket... That's the day I went home and parked my vintage Honda CB550. There are times when you realize that no matter how much you enjoy a sport, sometimes you have to pull back and wait until you can build up enough experience and skill so that you can face your family and know that you're not putting their future at risk. We have seen way to many people leave widows and orphans behind because they didn't follow the basic rules. Anyone that can stop and admit that they need more training is much more of a mench than the fool that leaps into the abyss with his eyes closed.
