 Ide, i'd be sad to hear you got in a wreck. I've known people who had motorcycles, but none who haven't received injury by them.

That said, an effete european scooter has a cultured appeal, and would be yet another way of letting the inhabitants of South Carolina know the degree to which you had abjured the dilapidated realm of their conception.

Ide don't be a moron and fasten your seatbelt. If you think you don't need it, loan a bicycle, accelerate to 35MPH with it (go down a hill if you are weak), and hit a parking car or something. Analyze the result on your hospital bill.
Jesus.

A seat belt on a motorcycle? 

in his car, dimwit 

WTF are you talking about a bicycle for then? You might as well tell him to jump out of a hot air balloon.

 Eugh! Languish, it only now occurs to me that the Questing Beast is twenty-one! Lando knew it best; this deal is getting worse all the time.

to get up to speed and crash without wrecking his car. It isn't the best analogy, but it wasn't that difficult


Also, Ide, hope you wear a helmet for that 1.5 mile ride if and when you get a bike.

...Yeah.

I was thinking more like a Suzuki V-Strom 650?  It's supposed to be alright for beginning riders.

Nobody on this board appreciates personal liberty nearly as much as they say they do.

I suppose I would.  That's more difficult to forget.

What a horrible analogy. You're on notice, Tamas.

It's only counts as personal liberty if someone doesn't have to scrape your face off the pavement when a negative outcome arises from your decision

Oh Ide, you dork.

And keep in mind that motorcycles are surprisingly heavy. Make sure you can lift it up before you buy it. Because you will tip it. Often. And usually while you're on and hopefully not going to fast. Look up counter steering, it's a bitch to get used to.

Oh Ide, you dork.

you work with actors, surely you'd be used to others bad decisions by now

Yes but i've thought Ide was kinda smart, then he reminds me how little common sense he has.

Liar.  You've never thought that.

Clearly I'm not going to tell you that as it would go to your head, doofus.

Members of one of Vienna's opera houses perform the finale of Carmina Burana in one of Vienna's train stations while dressed as passers-by/employees.

Also nicely demonstrates the general Viennese indifference to random nutters and weirdos (like people ignoring the lady chanting in Latin etc.).

It wasn't an analogy, it was a suggestion to help him get to grasps with what crashing to something solid with 35MPH actually means Yes, he could also jump out of a hot air balloon at a very low altitude but I figured my idea was easier
