There's a saying in the motorcycle community: "'I had the right of way' is a terrible epithet for your gravestone." I still have the scars on my arm from a bicycle accident I had when I was 14. The helmet saved my life in that accident by striking the stone wall and shattering into a million pieces. I still wear the helmet that I bought to replace that one. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
