Re: Motorcycles
This thread has been great.
The MSF course was a MUST do for me to get a bike. I don't think it's wise at all to place your life in the hands of something that, if not operated properly, could kill me. That said, I've actually decided to not get in to riding right now.
Given some of the stuff I read, and further inspection of my own heart regarding it, I can't really justify right now. I have so many other things I could put money in to, I.E. a SMAART rig. Which is what I'm really trying to learn more about. It's something I can invest in, and maybe one day see a return on my investment. And, the added security I can give to my wife is priceless(thanks TJ). She actually doesn't even know yet. 
One day, I'd love to ride and get there. But I think I was letting my eyes and desires get bigger than my wallet, and the current common sense that applies to my life right now. Let's just say I'll be living jealously of all you riders on here. 8)~
