Gearpigs post made me think of this movie too
Went and saw the premier and it was pretty impressive. The Documentary was narrated by Ewan McGregor too. Michael Czysz is like the Bruce Wayne of American Moto GP. Afterwards they had a Q&A with Czysz, he was saying the lastest bike can do over 170mph. Of course the batteries only last for 30 mins or so with current technology.

The direction you pay off your debt has a lot to do with the amount you have per month to deal with. By tackling the lowest total to highest you free up more each month as you pay off loans. That in turn helps you pay off each bill quicker. That advice is just one small piece of his overall concept. Not a huge fan but it is a way to get people to pay up instead of going bankrupt and making them responsible for their actions...

Honestly, I think there just aren't very many women that could do it. I don't mean shoot a weapon and hit a target. I mean live in the mud on very little sleep, carry a ruck that weighs almost as much as they do, and tote around a weapon that could consist of anything from an M4 all the way to an M249 or even an AT-4. That shit isn't light.
As it is, women are allowed in pseudo-combat jobs, like MPs and the like. That's fine, because although those units engage the enemy, their mission doesn't entail them being in the field for weeks at a time and having to carry everything they need to live and shoot with for that time.
I think Huey pretty much summed it up right there. As a former grunt, turned aviator I can say that the Infantry world is a special place in the Army and MC. There are so many variables that go into making a unit effective I can not see how this would help at all. I am also not sure why they keep thinking that all people are created equal, not all men can or want to do that job even.
Well heck starship troopers here we come though, co-ed showers...well only if they're hot

Just a quick observation from a Army guy that saw some of the effects of forcing that policy on a camp in Kuwait. In 04 the RB was not mandated for use while on the camp. No problem, ton of traffic, surges over 25 thousand at times. No incidents even with dust storms, TCN's driving around. Honestly most of the speeds are less than in housing areas. So 3 years later I am back at the same camp, now with the retarded RB policy in place.
I saw more Soldiers, Airman, and Sailors just walking out into the streets with zero SA of whats going on around them. So from a Safety point of view it seems to have had the opposite affect. That due to their safety bubble pedestrians feel like drivers will just stop for them. I would much rather be invisible and just look out for myself.
And there lies the crux of the problem in my opinion. A lack of individual responsibility/accountability vs. a CYA mentality and one size fits all policy that just plan sucks.
Also good on the Marines, never saw them wear the RB once, heard their CO said hell no my Marines are not wearing that crap.

You guys might get a kick out of this video. I saw the movie about this bike manufacture last year. "Charge". Amazing that an electric bike can average a 100 mph lap at the IOM TT.
