Not to go too far off topic here, but in the "dirt biking" relm, i've seen a ton of injuries (head and body) by guys "just tooling around the camp" or "just gonna go for a "test" run". Seems thats when things do go wrong.

I read an insurance stat one time that said 95% of all auto accident occur within a mile or so from the home, probably true since statistically thats where your at most the time....

Point being, theres a 1 in 1 chance/probability your gonna die. You just dont know when. Ya ain't immortal (even for those of us that do believe in an afterlife). AND yes, i'd like to WALK (not wheel) my daughter down the aisle some day, and even see grand kids....

I've always been a "safety first" guy, I built my car with this intent, Its my lack of experience in this genre that while my intentions where righteous, I'll fell short of a "proper cage", "no cell", minimal fire equipement. Thats called experience or maturity......

My two cents...
