Nice hair cut, dude. I shave my helmet, however. Gives it that straight white look. |

Bike has the race kit. Reporter loved the sound, they spent a few minutes just recording the sound from the pipes. I am evidently known in town for my Mohawk. They found me. |

That was soooooo cool. I think it should be your choice, that said, I think if you ride without one...well you deserve what you get. It's sorta like natural selection ain't it? ...BTW how did you attach the legendary mohawk? (Message edited by RidrX on April 10, 2007) |

Very cool, Bro! And am I glad they narrowed it down to just two types, "Hogs & Crotch Rockets". Imagine the confusion!

Good on ya Barker! Nice to see a fellow Tennesseean on the tube. Bet the exhaust note confused the "crotch rocket" riders. |

You did us all a favor by representing one who wears a helmet. We all come under scrutiny when accidents happen. Its mostly blamed on no helmet or speed of motorcyclist. Never the cager that turned left in front of us or ran us down because they were too busy on the damn cell phone. Thankyou very much. |

>I think it should be your choice... Do you really think that the insurance companies eat the extra costs to treat a serious head injury? Think about how everyone has "the right to decide" the next time your premiums go up. My $.02 Barker - GREAT footage! |

Cool!! Man your ride sounds Niiice My Buell and I got on the local news here once, though not in such a responsible light... or any light for that matter. It was night so you can't make mine out easily, but I'm in there a few times. Around the 3:30 mark they have a shot of me sitting all by my lonesome. http://www.wkrg.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WKR G/MGArticle/KRG_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=11491 91447377 My favorite line "The average bike can go almost two hundred miles per hour..." Gotta love local reports. |
