[another big SNIP]
You may be risking no one but yourself, but when you do get clobbered,
but not killed, and your insurance runs out, and the gummint starts
paying for your care, it is MY taxes that you are using up. Oh.
Sorry. You are in the UK where the gummingt(I mean the citizens) pays
for all that stuff anyway. So if you get clobbered but not killed,
everyone pays anyway.
Now airbags, I could do without.
MHO.
Donald.
